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 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.
