when i do straight bar curls or preacher curls i get this terrible pain in my forearms and it basically stays with me ,,i work through it but is there anything I can do to ease this pain ,,i tried stretching, and so on,,it feels like shin splint pain only in the forearms,,,anyone ever get this?
 
Stress fracture?

I've had this and so have many of my friends. Preacher curls are usually the absolute worse thing for this. Hurts like hell. I'm no doctor, but I'd bet you have stress fractures in your forearm bones that's what a good friend of mine had when this problem got really bad. Lay off the barbells and try dumbells or quit doing arm work for a while. Also, see a doctor. This can happen from using too much weight in a locked in curling position, such as with heavy preacher curls. Also, squeezing the bar too hard seems to be related to this or at least it hurts when you do that right? Don't keep aggrivating it.
