What Causes Left Elbow And Forearm Discomfort After Lifting Weights?
Can be a tennis elbow.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The pain in the outside of elbow radiating down the forearm is likely to be related to ulnar nerve compression or inflammation. It can also be related to tendonitis. Most commonly it is caused by a tennis elbow or cubital tunnel syndrome.
You can help the improvement by-
1. Give adequate rest to the arm.
2. Apply heat therapy.
3. Get some anti-inflammatory medication prescribed from your orthopedician.
4. Immobilize the arm for a short period.
5. Soft tissue therapy can be used to break down adhesions that may be restricting the nerve.
6. Neural stretching exercises are helpful under the care of a physiotherapist.
I hope this answers your query.

Wishing you good health.
