• I have had 3 injuries around my wrist while playing tennis. Should I quit?

I have had 3 injuries while playing tennis, and all of them have been in the same spot: My wrist. Do you think that I should stop playing tennis if I keep getting injured?

Sounds like there is a large amount of instability. At the minimum working with an occupational therapist to identify and strengthen weak areas would be a good start.

That is a decision you need to make. Not your Dr but seek a medical opinion to see if your wrist can be treated so as to return to sport

I think that you may need X-rays and possibly an MRI scan of the wrist. I wouldn't stop without further examination of the injury.
