It depends. If it's a sharp stabbing sensation coming from the interior of the forearm it's most likely a partially torn tendon. (Very painful) It also depends on how this happened. Whether it was a blow to the area affected or excessive repetitive use will determine the recovery time. If it's a blow to the area, it should heal within a month. (Only if you give it rest and refrain from lifting.)
If it is caused from excessive repetitive use, it will take quite a bit longer. Usually up to eight months. Every injury is different. Therapy may be necessary. Usually strong anti-inflammatorys and ultra sound treatments are used to help treat tendinitis.
If you are worried about work and this is where the injury occurred, your employer is required by law to give you time off. This is all made possible with F.M.L.A. (Family Medical Leave Act) During this time they can not fire you. I recommend seeing two doctors. Just for a second opinion. Usually if it is a tendon, your doctor may want to give you an x-ray to see if a piece of the bone was torn away during the initial incident.
For younger individuals I do not recommend getting a shot of hydrocortisone via direct injected into the tendon itself. I suggest talking to two doctors from separate clinics that specialize in sports medicine before considering it.
Added Information: usually these injuries occur due to misinformation, IE: working out for too long. You have to remember there is no quick way to getting stronger. It takes time. These injuries are quite common, thanks to the fitness industry who sometimes claim working out for long periods of time will give better results. While it is good to push yourself, no more than an hour should be spent at the gym. You need to give your body time to recover. It is not a matter of how much or how long you lift; it is only a matter of whether you do it or not. If you feel like something hurts, listen to your body and give it rest. This type of injury can be very painful and cause reoccurring injuries due to your first incident. Please listen to your body!
