15th March. How To Cure Wanker's Wrist.

Wanker's Wrist is a painful overuse injury involving inflammation of the tendons in the lower forearm, chiefly those connected to the thumb and first finger, (also known as Wrist Tendonitis).

The Physiotherapist helped to some extent but she'd changed her tune a bit last week, recommending immobilization, I walked out with about 4 feet of crepe bandaged wrapped around the wrist and hand.

Now I looked like the sort of tosser who can't even make a decent job of slashing their own wrists.

Anyway Google suggested repeated plunging of one's entire arm in a sink full of ice and water.

To be honest this is a bit nippy but it seems to work.

I'm left wondering if extending this theory to the whole body with a cold shower every morning could actually make you a better person - physically... morally?

Yes, your theory is correct. Cold water showers are scientifically proven to show a natural increase in testosterone level.
Further more, it is common knowledge in any sport/exercise, cold water will allow the muscles to recover faster than warm water. Hence, footballers jumping into ice jaccuzi's after a game. Or applying ice-packs after my knee-physio, so it recovers asap in the strongest manner possible
