So for the last couple months I have experience pain in both forearms that are not like the pain of repairing muscle after a workout. It shoots along the bone in both forearms when I lift and put weight down. Makes it real difficult to lift the weight I know I can lift. I can rest for a couple days and it feels better but when I start lifting again it hurts all over. Gets worse and worse as time goes on. I was told I may have torn ligaments and should probably take a break for a week or lift lighter. Any suggestions?

Forearm Pain

283 views and noone? I did a search on Menshealth.com and it sounds like I over extended my wrists causing the pain in my forearms. It is from lifting too heavy while doing arm curls for my biceps. Seems it happens to a lot of people. Just a little infor for anyone else experiencing this.
Don't take this as gospel but I think this is not an uncommon problem and surprised no one replied but I have heard Myofascial release could be something that might help.
I'd definitely look beyond wikipaedia and my recommendation, but certainly it might be an avenue to look down if no one with more certain knowledge comes forward.

If its linked to the wrist. It could be bad if you don't take care of it. Ice ice ice. Rest rest rest. If you can, get a blood stimulant. Or a compression wrap. They both work.

I had to use the shoulder one too, messed it up playing rugby. [removed]
I love this one!! So amazing!! Thanks Hun!
^Thankyou.
My pain disappeared, I'm surprised myself. It only came while doing overhand Pullups, but it's gone now and I'm so happy... I didn't have to do anything really it just went... I was lucky for once.

Perhaps you're going a bit too hard with viewing X rated adult films?
I had a sore forearm a while back when I was beating the one eyed trouser snake several times a day and it inhibited my lifts.
More seriously, here's a vid that might help you build forarm strength:
... -_-
Thanks anyway but I've seen that video. It's fine now.
One thing that tends to help avoiding a lot of these types of pain and us males tend to be the worst for missing from our training is a good stretching routine after cool down. For those on the films this is when you have cleared away the tissues.
Stretches for the forearms are simple and can be found on the net. Remember streches before a workout are 5 to 10 seconds each only at the end minimum is 15 and better to go for 30 or so each. I tend to combine a lot of stretches to save time while still keeping injury and aching minimised.
Simple ones can be elbows wide at your sides, bent at 90 degrees, hands with fingers touching in front of your body, push your wrists downward keeping all digits touching.
Push on the back of your opposite hand as if bringing your palm to your forearm.
As with any stretching to avoid or assist injury, slow steady and no bouncing within the stretch. The majority of injuries from stretching are from bouncing or comig out of the stretch too fast.
It is something worth saying to the man with 30 inch arms who can't straighten them that he needs to work on his flexibility. Though I would always advise checking his sprint times and the exit location first, unless you know his sense of humour.

Agreed. Warming up is important.
Also, make sure you have good form when you perform your movements by getting a QUALITY weight lifter to workout with you every few months or so.
I usually train with my mates and we're very focused on form. Injury happens when your form gets bad.
Paying a decent trainer every few months is a great way to make sure you're doing things properly. BTW most trainers are CRAP so beware.

Yeah, like 3 years ago, when I was new to working out, I never warmed up and stuff, and that was such a big mistake... Now I warm up before and after working, from neck to wrists to chest, triceps, shoulders, abs, pretty much everything, atleast a few seconds each.
Though I admit, I do it mostly Pre workout, after workout I'm a little lazy and just wanna eat some food to replenish and take a shower and enjoy the tireness *lol*

make sure you stretch before you do any exercise this will help to stop any injuries occuring. hope that your injury heals soon
Basically we feel forearms pain when a tendon for one of our muscle tightens up. The one and only way to get rid of the pain is to release the tendon. There is no doubt about it that this type of pain is quit painful.
There are couples of exercise. But I would like to tell one. Which is easy and more importantly it work very well:
• With hand resting in front of you with the palm up
• Bend your wrist as far as you can
• Then press into the area behind the wrist, where they take your pulse
• Hold a good amount of pressure on it for 30 seconds
• After 30 seconds slowly open your wrist up as far as you can, release the pressure but hold your wrist open for another 30 seconds
If you want to get the best result then just relax your body by taking a deep breath and exhaling then remain this relaxed.
