That used to happen all the time to me back when I was doing a 4-5 day split like you. It really hurts bad I know.
I consulted a sports medicine physician a while back and this is what he told me:
"The pain is partially due to stress on the ulna from weak forearms or poor form. It is
NOT a tendonitis. Straight bar will cause this much more than EZ curl bar. The "cure" is first to back off and work on your forearms, avoid straight bars for a while, and gradually begin lifting heavy again. Wrapping will mask the problem. This is why using an EZ bar (less supination) or strengthening the forearms will help."
