Weird Pain

oldernhotter · 01-17-2009, 08:50 AM

Only when I do bicep hammer curls. I don't care if it's dumbells, machine, or cable curls, my inner wrists feel like the nerves are having little explosions that travel up my arm. I cannot do them. Anybody else have this strange disability? What did you do to get over this, if anything? I really want to do hammer curls.

Maybee way off base here but had similar issues until I learn't to lock my wrists when doing allcurling excercises.

I'll leave this to the experts

Hmmm. interesting take on this. I don't know what you mean by "locking the wrists". I concentrate on curling up with my upper arm and keep my grip loose. So, In other words....I concentrate on squeezing the muscle versus gripping the dumbbell, cable..etc. Thank you for your thoughts.

does your wrist move when you do the curls?

It could many things, to know for sure it needs to be examined.
I do that such wist pathologies as rheumatoid arthritis will refer symptoms from the wrist to the elbow.

I can identify with the feeling, but I have no idea what the scientific term would be for it. I only know that for me, it's something I've experienced a few times over the years, but find it very short lived and know of no root cause. I guess I consider it an anomaly of sorts, and of no serious consequence.

Do a Google search for "TFCC tear" - might be what you're suffering from.

Yeah, I'm not really worried about it...it's just a pain in the behind. lol

Little explosions. I had a similar thing happen but in my legs when I began to use the bosu/balance board. I had been balancing on the ball side for a few weeks, extending my time on each foot. Then I decided to start doing squats on the ball with no weights of course. For about the next 10 days whenever I went partway down, began to lose my balance and stood upright again, I felt something in my legs on the way down and up but I figured it was my muscles firing to help me keep my balance. Never felt it before or since and at the time I thought it was strange that I would feel something like that so distinctly but that's the way it happened. Seemed like once my muscles got used to the movement the sensations stopped and never returned, even when I was able to go ATG.
