I've been having a weird issue pop up and I'm not sure how to handle it. When doing suitcase carries after a minute or two I get a pain in my right forearm. If I pulled up a muscle chart it would be right around the meat of the flexor carpi radialis. It kind of feels like something is "catching" there.
It seems to flare up based on duration. So a farmer walk with a 24kg kettlebell will trigger it after a minute or two as does a 200lb farmer implement carry. I've had it pop up on longer one handed swing sets as well. I haven't noticed it as much if I use a fixed farmer bar (a bar connecting the farmer implements so they do not rotate freely) or trap bar. I first noticed it when doing kettlebell miles.
Anyone dealt with this issue? I'm thinking just hammering it with a theragun or lacrosse ball might be the first step but I'm throwing shots in the dark.
