hurt forearm, shinsplint type pain

[tempest2003]

I had a similar pain, just below the wrists on the underside of the forearm after I put the weights down. I went to the doc and he said if its on both arms it proably not a stress fracture, but more likley the fascia, what ever that means, anyways he said to take about a week off, ice it, take some anti inflams, and i could wrap a warm wet towel around them before I lift if im really getting serrious about lifting, I also took some calcium tabs on my week off and did what he said, next week 100% better, doesnt bother me any more! hope this helps, good luck

Hey bro I know exactly how you feel I have had it for a long time. I been told it is tendinitis. The doc said to stretch your forearms like was descried in earlier replies. You want a wet heat not cold and ultrasound will help it heal( which your local chriopracter can do) I also stay away from straight bar curls found that I can still go heavy with the ez bar and have minumal pain. Try to keep from jarring your forearms too by smooth controlled lifts. Hope it helps I have managed to keep mine from preventing me from hitting the iron hard.

well for the last 2 years I haven’t had this problem, but just recently acquired it Heat feels great and stretching helps reduce the pain. Form is also very important!!
