I'm having this pinching pain deep in my left bicep, kind of near the middle and close to the bone. It kicks in whenever I flex my bicep, and I got this from the gym. I've rested but it hasn't eased up. Why hasn't the pain reduced even after taking it easy?

The most likely causes are tendinitis, a muscle strain, or nerve-related issues. However, if the pain persists or worsens, its essential to consult a healthcare provider who can properly assess your injury and guide you through a treatment plan. In the meantime, rest, ice, gentle stretching, and avoiding activities that strain the bicep are crucial steps. A tailored rehab plan or physical therapy might be helpful to fully recover from the injury.

I'm really worried about this pain I've been having. I fell on my left side while trying to stop a cricket ball, and now I'm feeling a lot of pain near my lower left rib cage, especially when I'm moving around, walking, or even just turning in my sleep. It's been about 5 days now, and I'm getting concerned that I might have injured my spleen or if it's just a muscle tear. Could you shed some light on what this might be?

It sounds like you may have strained the muscles around your lower left rib cage, especially since the pain worsens with movement. While a spleen injury could cause pain in the area, its less likely unless there's significant trauma, such as a direct blow. If the pain persists or worsens, its best to consult a doctor for an evaluation.

I'm a bodybuilder and I've been taking 1 Liv 52 DS daily to detox my liver from orals. I'm just wondering if it's okay to take Liv 52 DS every day for a whole year. If it's not recommended, how long should I take a break before starting again?

Taking Liv 52 DS for liver detoxification is generally safe for long-term use. However, it is recommended to take breaks to allow your body to function without the supplement. You can take Liv 52 DS for 2-3 months continuously, then take a break for 1 month before resuming. This cycle can be repeated as needed for liver support.
