Looking for insight and ideas. Since I started riding my Bianchi Veloche, I have pain in my right forearm, upper outer area. It feels muscular. I looked in my anatomy book--it seems to be where the palmaris longus attaches to the humerus. It feels warm and painful to the touch. It hurts to use that arm to twist or carry anything. I am right handed, so this is annoying.

I never had this pain when riding the Larkspur, so I figure the difference is the way I hold the handlebars (mtn bike-type straight bars vs. road/racing). There's no pain in my left forearm. I'm aware that I hold a lot of tension in my hands when riding. My 4th & 5th fingers are usually pretty tightly curled in. That may be the problem.

Sometimes it's so painful that I ice it and take NSAIDs all day.

Any thoughts or similar experiences?
