Hi Mary,

I had wrist, elbow and even back pain when I started. I forget now how long it lasted for. It was a while. Now I rarely get pain, but sometimes something new will put my wrist at an angle it is not accustomed to.

Only you can be the judge of how bad it is, can you work through it etc. But to answer your question, yes in my case wrist pain was part of the beginners curve.

Good luck.
