Well, I think Ive got it. After a google search and a search on here, it seems a doctor visit would be a waste of money. My symptoms are pretty darn similar:
-Little pops every so often
-Stiffness in the joint
-Some pain when grasping
-Hurt during Bench
I took 5 days off from upper body then tried to do an upper, horizontal yesterday. Bench was my first exercise. Felt it right away, something popped, then no more pain. No pain during pulls whatsoever. Later on during the day, pain returned but nearly as much as it did before the 5 days off.
From what I gathered on the internet about causes, two things kept coming up. Repeated use and twisting forearm motions. Well, Ive been doing higher frequency workouts with kettlebell workouts at the end of each session. These KB workouts involve a twist of the wrist during every single rep.
I need some first hand knowledge on how much advil you guys have taken, how much time off youve had, how much ice used (i have ice on right now), if you substituted exercises instead of totally taking time off, etc.
I can switch to dumbells no problem, but if its best to just take time off, well...
