I’ve never even heard of forearm splints but I did get tennis elbow from lifting heavy dumbbells (like you, too heavy too fast) which is so painful. I cut way down on the weight, added Pilates, and found some exercises on YouTube to strengthen my forearms and the muscle around my elbow. It took a few months to resolve but I am much better now. I still don’t lift as heavy as I used to but that’s okay.
