Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hello, I was lifting heavy, performing the deadlift as I lifted the bar off the floor I heard and felt a pop in my right forearm so I had to set the bar down without completely performing the lift. My forearm and wrist area was affected by the movement as I try to lift anything or any slight arm movement at all I feel pain. It feels as though it is sprained. When I move my hand as the wrist acts like a pivot I feel pain and discomfort in wrist/forearm. I was lifting the weight in a supinated position with left arm firmly grasping the bar, palm facing in and with my right arm I had my palm facing out. Could you elaborate on what you may think happened? Thanks

This is not a big issue ,you ask your physio to do mulligan tapping on your wrist at distal radio ulnar joint.it seems that your radio ulnar ligament of distal radioulanar joint has been strained.so tape them and perform the lift see if it help you if yes then ask physio to do ultrasound or laser at tenderpoint and continue the rerehabilitation process along with mulligan tapping.
I wish this will definitely keep you pain free and rehab can be done without stoping your practice session.
