I have been having recurring pain in my right upper forearm when doing dumbbell curls. I lay off the heavy weight for a while and it goes away but as soon as I start going heavy it comes back. Tendonitis? Will a wrap help.

Sounds like a good description of "tennis elbow"
Here’s a good video explaining what causes this. Focusing on my grip has solved the problem for me.

My pain does not match the location shown in the video. My pain is not at the inner elbow, it is along the top outer side of the forearm.
I think this best describes my issue. I generally do V bar pullups at the beginning of my workout and notice no pain. As soon as I start hammer curs the pain is there.

Stretching and fish oil pills worked for me. Plus avoiding any motion that causes pain, of course.
