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."

thats what my doctor told me too... i used bands around my wrist (i think they're refered to as "wrist straps") and it healed in 2 months... but sometimes this pain does come creeping around...
take care kane and all the best...
and don ignore the pain...
