Just do things that don't hurt. That should be enough. Even a little pain while you're using it can turn into a bigger pain later.

I don't follow my own suggestions all the time, lol. Right now I have a hip-flexor strain. It's very minor. But it wasn't hurting and didn't hurt so bad when I used it so I couldn't help myself and kept on squatting and what not after just taking one day off. Now I've made it worse and I know darn well I'm pretty much off lower body for a week. You see I've had it act up before but I got away with ignoring it except for a little ice. I thought I knew what I was doing. Moral of the story is obvious.

If you read on other forums about these types of problems you'll get all sorts of highly technical talk on biomechanics and whatnot. Telling you exactly what the problem is and what exercises you can and can't do. It's irresponsible and misplaced. People, even doctors, don't have any business "diagnosing" you over the internet.

Ice and rest will help the inflammation. Using wraps (only at first and not when you begin working it again) will help to avoid further injury. It won't correct what caused the problem in the first place.

Try avoiding a straight bar for a while like 0311 said. Maybe use db's also. Kane talked about "behind the back forearm curls". Those are excellent. Try em out, go light at first but they will allow you to go very heavy in the future.

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