Forearm pain?

When I started lifting I would curl and everything would be fine after a few months however, I started to get a pain on my forearms during curling to the point I had to stop curling for a while. Now I do curls with little forearm use such as keeping my wrist neutral and stuff, but I still get that feeling in my forearm almost every time while curling, I'm wondering if there's anything I can do to make that feeling go away I wouldn't want to stop curling again :'(

    Sounds like tendinitis.. the only way i got rid of mine was the PT and had to stop lifting for a bit. Id see an orthopedic to get checked out.

    Agreed, probably tendonitis.

    Probably not tendonitis unless the pain is at the elbow where the ligaments attach.

    I'm recoving fron tendonitis now due to too many pullups, pushups, & dips. Has happened b4. On 3rd wk of recovery now. Took 4 wks b4 and looks like the same this time. Doing other things instead.

    Tendinitis can occur in the forearm as well. Its where the tendons attach to the muscles. I have had issues with both and where it attaches to the muscle hurts more IMO

    Have you tried massaging the muscle around the forearm with a tennis ball or golf ball.
