Right Fore-arm Aches During Gym Workouts

[Eddie G]

Hi guys. When I go to the gym to do exercises like arm curls it seems that my right (playing) fore-arm hurts quite a bit. Also when I stretch out my arms fully extended that same area seems to ache quite a bit? Is this normal among right-handed tennis players? Does anybody else experience this type of pain in their right forearm? What can I do to help reduce or prevent the aching?

I included a picture to show where this ache/pain is happening?

Not normal. See a doctor.

Do you regularely work out, or was this too much of an workout?

Gripping your racket too tightly? Gripping the weights too tightly?

Have had moderate TE a couple of times and a mild case of GE. Yours is a possible early warning sign of GE. Are you gripping too firmly too often)? If not, definitely have it checked out by an expert soon. And stop using poly strings for a while if you have them in your racket. What type of frame?

That does not look like his elbow to me...

This happens to me, pain is a bit closer to the elbow but I'm guessing it's the same. Just stretch....this might not be just due to tennis but mouse/computer etc

TE & GE aren't really in the elbow joint either. Tendinopathy near the elbow -- micro-tears in the tendons that attach to the elbow.

Sometimes TE or GE pain is felt in the belly of the muscle before pain manifests in the tendons that attach that muscle to the elbow. GE pain is sometimes felt in the forearm all the way to the wrist. It was quite a while ago but, as I recall, it happened to me that way once or twice.

Or both: ortho for a diagnosis; PT to work through the recovery [which might differ or even partially contradict the ortho].
