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.

View allI'm someone who hits the gym regularly and likes to take my protein shake every day after working out. Ive been wondering, if I masturbate once a week or every two weeks, will it impact my muscle growth or body size? Will it affect how my body develops?
Masturbation, when done in moderation, does not have a significant impact on muscle growth or body size. Its a natural activity that doesnt interfere with your ability to build muscle or your physical progress as long as you maintain a healthy lifestyle, including proper nutrition and exercise. Focus on your workout regimen and diet for the best results.

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've recently picked up badminton again after a long break, and I've been noticing a bit of an issue. When I try to smash the shuttle hard, my lower bicep near the elbow starts to ache. I do warm-ups and stretch beforehand, but it still happens. The pain seems to drain my strength, making it hard to keep a grip on the racquet. It kind of radiates all the way down to my palm. If I take a break, the pain goes away without medicine, but it comes back as soon as I start hitting hard again. Interestingly, when I don't hit the shuttle hard, there's no pain at all. What might be causing this, and how can I prevent it?
It sounds like you may be experiencing a repetitive strain or overuse injury, possibly involving the muscles or tendons near your elbow. This can happen when exerting forceful movements after a long break. It's important to focus on gradually increasing your strength and flexibility in that area, and consider incorporating rest periods to avoid overloading the muscles.
