I think 0311 is probably right. The other thing it might be is a syndesmosis injury.

There is a membrane in the forearm (and the lower leg) called the interossis. It sort of holds the bones in their proper place. The is can get injured so that the bones are not properly stabilized, which could explain the "grabbing" sensation. If it is the problem it's hard to diagnose. ONe thing to try is when the pain is there take hold of the forearm and put steady compressive force on it with your hand. If this helps the pain significantly then that could be a clue.

Bodybuilders do get this but it's not likely since it's usually due to repetitive impacts and such. And since it's both forearms who knows. The recommendations (not to replace the advice of a medical proffesional) would be pretty much the same as 0311 gave.

I would go ahead and wrap the forearms even when your not lifting to give everything some stabibility....if it is the injury I described then the idea would be to use the wraps to give stability to the bones. If it just happened use ice like you would for anything. Then after 2 or 3 days you can apply heat as well.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
