forearm pain on curls

drjuice28 Posts: 7 Joined: 2002/10/21	2002/12/10, 05:17 PM Hey guys, Over the past few weeks I've been developing some sharp forearm pain while doing seated barbell curls (EZ curl bar). It feels like it's originating deep in the center of my ulna/radius. Anybody experienced it before? Suggestions about the problem and a solution to it ? (I've just stopped doing them for now) DRJUICE

It is basically like shin splints in your forearms. I'll assume you understand why shin splints occur. As for treatment, rest. I just pushed through them until my arms adapted. I could be something else, so you might want someone to check it out if you are really concerned.

Have it checked to be sure. Give it a rest for sure, and use ice. -------------- The trouble with jogging is that, by the time you realize you are not in shape for it, it is too far to walk back!
