intense forearm soreness / magnesium lotion recs
-
having intense muscle soreness in my outer forearm area which makes barbell curls extremely painful, particularly when i put the weight down. should i rest for some time before resuming curls? is there a magnesium lotion you would recommend to improve muscle soreness? i drink glycine powder dissolved in water before bed on occasion, and while it generally relaxes my muscles it doesn't necessarily target the problem areas.

You may want to make sure that it isn't a tendon injury due to straining or repetitive motion, carpal tunnel / tennis elbow or similar. I know for some carpal tunnel can take a while to resolve depending on how they treat it. I would go very easy, or even abstain, on the forearms in the meantime till you figure it out or it clears up.
