Joint pain with biceps curls.//////////

[XCYTER]

Whenever I do heavy biceps curls, I get an aching in the crook of my arm, right at my elbow(top side) I guess this would be where the muscle attaches to the joint.
Anyone know something i could do to fix it?

go to a massage place and get it worked on. Trust me, it will work for sure. It might just be scar tissue and they will be able to get that out. Its worth checking out.

Do you fully extend your arms on the way down? If so, don't!

I have the same problem, sometimes it radiates to my forearm. I get some ben-gay or icy/hot and apply it about 1/2 hour before exercising. Make sure you warm up good so you don't tear something.

I had the same problem bro! You need to get some supplements for your joints, which help them heal and recover and a faster pace. Get you some Glucosamine/Chondroitin, it will eliminate the pain, but it will take about 2 weeks to fully get into your system to start working. It helped me, I no longer have any pain in my joints. Good Luck, Bro.

I'm with buffdawg on this one. I had the same problem from years of baseball and football, combined with lifting. Take the gluc/chond supps, and keep taking them even when the pain is gone. Also when doing bicep work try do limited exercises, if any, witht e straight bar. That tends to cause my elbow to really flare up. As for the forearm pain, that comes and goes for me, jsut a part of lifting I guess.

Same/Same, I use this msm-glucosomine, and yeah it will take a week or so to get into your system good. I had the same issue with the main tendon on the inside portion of the elbow...2 weeks after starting on the msm-gluc the pain was gone.

Good luck bro,

Take time to ice the area at least twice a day and use a racket ball to squeeze (arm bent and arm straight)...go back to 12-15 reps while you are doing this therapy, and keep it at once a week..this will keep you bi's in shape and help strengthen tendons ligaments. If you use a barbell to curl you may consider changing to EZ curl (wide grip). A barbell is one of the main causes of forearm /elbow pain in lifters, especially the one that shoots up the middle of the forearm and feels like bone is breaking. Anyway..try this for 4 -6 weeks and you should be golden..if not,,go to a PT.

I'll vote on the MSM & glucosamine. I had nasty problems w/ my elbows due to some ridiculous overtraining supervised by a dummass trainer, resulting in tendonitis & joint pain in everything from shoulders to wrists. 2 weeks of MSM did wonders. If you are "older" you might also consider GH to help w/ that as well.

the exact same pain on inside elbow

used this and pain stopped in 2 weeks never to return

best part is its been 2 years and havent used it since
pick one up at an acadamy store or do a search on dyna ball on google to order on line

also use glucosimine
