My forearms hurt when weight lifting...?!
Question: My forearms hurt when weight lifting....?
I've been weight lifting for about 2 months now. About 2 weeks ago, my right forearm started to hurt a little while I did my barbell curls. I didn't pay much attention to it because it was only a minor pain...and it only "stung" as i released the bar from my grip.
However...today when I was working out in the gym...BOTH my forearms began to hurt...with special pain in my right forearm. It's not like...unbearable pain. It's just an annoying sting that makes me want to stop for the day.
I've noticed it only hurts when my forearms are stressed. Like...there comes a point after weight lifting for like 10 mins that my forearms tense up due to the blood rushing to the muscles. But right now, for example, as I sit in my couch after having showered and chilled for a while, they are only slightly sore.
Should I go get my forearm(s) looked at.?Health Question & Answer

Answers:
You may be gripping to tight, this strains the flexor tendons.After work out use ice 15 mins then stretches. Biofreeze and advil per label can also help.You most likely are having muscle strain/tendonitis. Specific hand exercises and equip that physical therapist use can help build up those areas better than a dumbellHealth Question & Answer
