Iace, ice and more ice. Through in some anti inflammatory drugs as well when you are going to be active. But ice the area as much as you can stand.

You must just be weak then.

I will try that, thanks.

I get it on the "top" of my forearms at times. Depending on when it occurs, what exercises you are doing, you might try changing your grip. For me, it was a matter, with curls, of changing my grip from a flat, palms open facing me, to making my grip more "sideways". But it also helps to take some time off, then simply taking whatever pain reliever works best for you prior to working out. But it comes & goes for me, regardless.

I actually thought this could be a cause. I've been trying to work up my forearms more the last couple of times to help.

Top three symptoms of AIDS:
1. Rapid weight loss
2. Forearm pain
3. Fever
I'm very sorry.

It's hard to do and really requires flexibility training and massage. Look into 'the stick' featured in one of the videos. Miracle workers.

It have forearm pain, elbow tendonitis and also some minor shoulder tendonitis and concentration curls cause it to flare up too.
Constant pain.
Find the lifts that cause it to flare up and stop doing them; i.e. find alternatives. Skull crushers really hurt me.

Thank you! I can do almost any lift without pain except any form of a curl it is just unreal pain.

I have fought tendonitis for over 20 years. Here are the things that I have learned. I don't know if they will apply to you.
I would be fairly confident that your lifting is not causing your pain but is a symptom of something else. Using ice, drugs, braces will certainly mask the pain but won't help you find the solution.
1. Keyboard usage. If you are a heavy keyboard user and don't have a split finger keyboard that is at the proper height, you should get one immediately. As little as 5 mins on a typical flat keyboard will cause me great pain.
2. Rings and watches. If you wear rings or watches consider stopping. They apply pressure to your forearms or causes you to move fingers with extra weight on it. I wear a very small wedding ring, no watches, and no other rings because of this.
3. Stretching. The best exercise I have found is to grab your thumb under the other four fingers (like making a really bad fist) and then extending your arms straight out or to the side. Do this throughout the day.
As for actual lifting, be careful with anything that required you to twist your wrists past 45 degrees from vertical (thumbs vertically up). Like curls with a flat bar would really cause pain.
Hope this helps.
