I was doing something similar to curls the day before yesterday and I pushed myself until I could physically do no more.
Now I cannot straighten my left arm without getting true agony in one of my forearm muscles.
Anyone know what I have done to my arms and what I can do about it?
Thanks for the advice guys.
It is swollen slightly now and a little bit red (the muscle in my left forearm) but I will try to move it as you guys have recommended.

All you've done is push yourself to failure. I get this all of the time. When weight lifting you get microscopic tears in your muscles and what's happening now basically is your muscles are repairing and re-building. Get loads of protein down you and don't worry about it. You'll be fine in 2-3 days.
First of all -
Wrong forum, this should be posted in training and nutrition
Second of all -
It just sounds like you are EXTREMELY sore. If you tore a ligament or anything of that nature, you would not be posting anything on here. Trust me. You would know there is something wrong.
I started lifting weights again recently (after not lifting for about a year) and I was sore beyond belief. I could barely brush my teeth or touch my face with the palm of my hands.
Just stretch your arms a lot, i know it hurts but just do it. Try hitting up a sauna or steam room.
Haha.
Thank you very much for your advice anyway man.
Do you think it could be permenant?
Let it rest a couple days. If there's no or little improvement go see the doc.
