I don't know, some people go out and say tendinitis when pain gets this bad. It is possible, but what are the odds? I had the same things you did, pressure makes it hurts, general agitation I'd imagine, etc. It took me 3 days of total rest, I barely used my arms at all(Swung my bokken exactly 752 times, that will do it. Counted because of a bet that was made, ). DOMS should go away after a day of rest. After that, start worrying. Any PT should know that. How about some ice, Vyapada?

Guess I over did it then, haha.
It was the first time that I had experienced that sort of thing as a result of practicing, so I know now obviously, but back then I didn't.

alternate heat and ice on twenty minutes cycles with ibprophine for inflamation and if it doesn't clear up in a day ..... see a doctor

Contrast therapy like swordboy mentioned may help (keep the heat/hot water and ice/cold water on for about a minute at a time), ice by itself isn't really going to do much other than perhaps some temporary pain relief/distraction.

Hello all, very interested post, I've just got my Shura a week ago I did a few cuts in air , and decided to strengthen up the muscles that I would be using. I made a oak replica of my sword and I am going to practice as many different cuts as I can, then gradually add some rubber weights to the sword to increase the muscle strength. When you think about it, your exercises should mimic closely to the movements you will be doing. When Salvatore said he had swung his bokken 752 times , I think he would be training for muscle memory, I'm not sure but I think each time you do something repetitive a chemical is released and eventually the time is reduced to do that movement,you become quicker. I guess theres no other movement that will get you ready for swimming other than to jump into the water.

Your wrists should not be flexing very much in JSA. Most of the power comes from the hips.

I screwed them up at work and went to dojo anyway thinking it was nothing. I'll likely have to have arthroscopy. Your wrists may not flex as much as you think, but in order to keep proper grip you do tend to torque them at odd angles from time to time (gyaku kesa). And being a beginner I was over using muscle power trying to achieve hasuji and got damage from over exertion. I'm fairly certain I will need surgery at least on my left wrist, but hopefully not.
