Forearm splints........WTF???????

[spentagn]

you wait it out. I get it after I come back from long layoffs. Both the first time I started lifting, and after I got back into it. It took several months for me to even dream of doing straight bar culrs.

I was only out for 4 freakin days!!! NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! This cant happen to me again. It seems as if everytime I try to juice I get hurt. At least this time I made out a little longer than last time. Maybe next cycle i wont get hurt at all!!!

heavy preachers did it to me. you may have to train around it for awhile as for most people its only certain movements not everything

I had the same exact thing happen to me about 4 months ago and yes it is tendonitis and hurts like a mother fucker! The best thing you can do is ice it right after workouts and to take a few days off. Also hit the ibuprofen and getting some Glucosamine is a must! 1500mg/day and you'll be good as new in no time.


Peace

I've had these on and off for 2 years. Try some glucosamine and condroitin (sp?). It's the ingredients of Joint Fuel, but you can find them much cheaper (I found some for cheap at Dollar General). Take 1.5x the recommended dosage until you feel better, then back down to the RD. Make sure to drink plenty of water.

had the same thing..

yup mild form of tendonitis... nothing you can do about it bro... the best thing u can do now is to let it heal.... and that means lay off the work outs for a good 2-3 weeks... it's a fucked up deal i know but my shit lasted me a good 3 weeks and even then it hurt... the only cure is rest... don't try to work out with it cause in the end ... the pain will win and your only gonna make it worse... trust me on this.. i looked up everything there was to know about it and the only conclusion was rest..

I have the same thing every time I try to do barbell curls. My forearms have splints that ache so much I can't hardly release the grip on the bar when I finish a set............So, I just quit doing strait barbell curls and went to the EZcurl bar. The angle of having my hands turned in some relieved alot of the pressure of my forearms. Also, I went to hammer curls on the dumbells for awhile, to alieve my forearms being twisted out. Within a couple of weeks, it went away, and I stay away from the barbell curls and I have no problem.

I have had that ever since i can remember, and it sucks. Anytime I do straight bar curls it kills me. It gets so bad that its hard for me to let go of the bar.

I dont think they will ever go away

I'm allergic to asprin bro!

Ibuprofen is Ibuprofen, not asprin.

try Wobenzym or Phlogenzym. It won't cure you overnight, but a lot of german athletes use it to fight inflammations.
