What other exercises do you do? Last year I had simliar problem, and traced it to straining too much while doing free-weight curls (I was straining to grip the curl bar, which hurt the forearm, and to lesser extent the wrist). I stopped the curls for a few weeks, and the forearm was fine (I'd rather play golf than have the chiseled guns!).

I'm no MD, but I've been prescribed week-long ibuprofen regimen on many occasions that has always helped muscle strains. I have always found it worth while to pay the MD for the first diagnosis. After that, I buy OTC ibuprofen instead of the higher dose prescription ibuprofen, and just match the grams.
