Hey /fit/, I've got a problem.

I've been lifting now for about 2 years, and I've made good progress. Recently, though, I've been getting some serious pain in my forearms, specifically when doing curl-type exercises. It's a sharp pain that starts about mid-forearm, on the side of the arm that is on the bottom of you hold your arm out giving a "thumbs-up".

I can't do my regular arms routine, because it starts hurting like hell during the first exercise. Some times if I aggravate it really bad, it'll hurt after the workout, and then in subsequent workouts where I'm doing any kind of pulling.

I went to the doctor and he suggested that it might be some sort of neuropathy after he ruled out carpal tunnel and tendinitis and referred me to a specialist (though the appointment is in three fucking months).

I might also mention that I'm typing all day (the Doc harped on this for a while), at work and at home.

Has anyone else had this problem, and if so, found any work-arounds? My routine is really suffering.

Thanks.

Yeah, I stretch thoroughly. In fact, when this injury is triggered, no stretch makes it feel any better, nor can I really stretch to get the same feeling.

I've taken a month off before and it came back right away.

I have a similar problem. At first I thought it was improper form (curling a barbell over preacher curl) but I tried changing it up a bunch of ways and it still hurt.

Luckily for me it's more of an aching pain that comes in after I finish my set and wanes off after half a minute.

No solution here either tho.
