What Causes Forearm Pain While Exercising?
I'm 58 and in good physical condition, 5'8" and 160#. I work out at gym twice a week, mostly upper body--dips, curls, butterfly in 2 sets at moderate strength level. Not overweight, a former athlete wrestling at competitive level. Over last 8 weeks, my left forearm (i'm right handed, so can't be carpal tunnel) has been aching, not only while exercising, but even on off days doing nothing. If's a deep ache, not surface. I don't recall straining it.

Hello
As per your history there is possibility of nerve entrapment ,possibly ulnar nerve near elbow.
Use of machine can reduce your pain and swelling, you can ask your physiotherapist for therapy for ulnar tunnel syndrome
Use ice packs to reduce inflammation .
Physiotherapy with ultrasound and Tens will help you,
For early healing you can take Tab celin [vit C] and antioxidant with anti-inflammatory [Tab enzomac plus ].
