What Causes Pain In Medial Forearm While Extending Arm?

When I extend my right arm I have pain in my lower medial forearm. There s no visual clues as to what could be wrong, such as redness or swelling. I would rate the pain as mild when I m using my hand, but it can quickly change to severe when I move my hand the wrong way. At times I feel pain in my bicep as well.
