Hello guys ive been in the gym for 3 days only and today was my fourth day and I was surpirsed that I couldnt punch the mitt or the heavybag properly cause my hands are painful! I think its in the wrist and its really hard to punch properly especially when my trainer is slamming his mitts in my punch it feels like I want to give up! it isnt like muscle pain that I just ignore. This is different.

Is there such a thing as sore hands or wrists? or are my wrists/hands broken?

help me guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Go get it checked out by the doctor, a sprained wrist is no joke.

just follow the correct way of hitting with your punches a wrong technique will make it worst. If u can't take the pain just skip the bag and mits don't force it just do jump ropes, shadowbox, treadmill or other exercise that don't hurt your hands, do it until your hands feels ok again.

What can I do to recover asap? And also to prevent this?

You think my trainer is slamming his mitts too much? or is it really that way?

after recovery, when you resume training:

try using adhesive/athletic tape directly on your skin/wrists, then use 180inch mexican style handwraps, then tape again, but over the wraps.

and also make sure you're punching with proper technique.

and what gloves are you using?

It's definitely not normal for your hands/wrists to hurt with the stuff that you are doing, especially when you've only done it for three days. Tell your trainer your hands hurt. He may be slapping his mitts too hard. How well are you hands wrapped and do you have any padding for your knuckles? One thing I do is wrap my wrists a grip load when I wrap my hands, I've injured by wrist before and it really sucks. In fact, I just hurt it again last night. I was sparring and landed a body shot at an awkward angle, and now I can't even use my one hand. I think I'll be out for at least a whole week nursing it. Even then I'll have to be careful. Anyways, its defnitely not normal so tell your trainer. Don't hold the pain and just keep doing the **** that will fuk up your body. Either your trainer's doing something wrong or your not properly wrapped up or both.

btw best way is to rest and let the pain go away. if you keep doing that **** while its hurting you may have to take a much bigger break later down the road.
