I keep screwing up bicep curls. My forarm hurts or i end up pulling my upper body back when I lift as momentum.
I tried holding the dumbells vertically but I‘m not really getting a good workout. Any tips?

Have you gone to a orthopedic doctor? There is a chance you have tendinitis in the forearms. And if you are getting back pain while curling, i suspect you are using too much body movement from the weights being too heavy. Or its possible you don't have a enough pull moves in your workout driving muscle imbalance.2 -

Are you over-using your delts?
You may be using too heavy a weight and not concentrating on wrist position, which will hurt the forearm.
I would try practising with a very light weight, in front of a mirror, seated, and really get the feel of what should be happening.2 -
Reiterating the above. Seated with lower weight. Your core should be tight if you are doing them standing. Sometimes throwing a foot back to kickstand you can help prevent the back flair. Shoulders down and back before begining.3
