I used to get the same thing. It used to be really bad, but it only hurts when I let the bar go during preacher curls or barbell curls (heavy). I bet you were probably using a straight bar for your biceps/forearm work? I think it's called ulnar stress syndrome and it's due to extreme supination of the forearms and undue stress placed on the ulna secondary to weak forearm musculature. Usually happends when a bodybuilder neglects his forearms. Unfortunately, the only things to do is to wrap it up tight and deal, or switch to lighter weight while the pain goes away.
*What worked best for me was to stop using the straight bar for a while and to lighten up the load. My suggestion to you is to think about taking a week's worth of rest from the gym and start doing some higher reps with lighter weight. That's exactly what I did and the pain has not returned for over a year now.
