Is it okay to take this supplement if I'm hitting the gym regularly? I've read it might lead to a bleeding disorder. How likely is it that it could cause internal bleeding issues? I'm really concerned about the risks involved.

It is important to be cautious when taking medications that can cause bleeding disorders while engaging in physical activities like going to the gym. The chances of experiencing internal bleeding problems can vary depending on the individual's health condition, dosage of the medication, and other factors. It is recommended to avoid high-impact activities and to monitor for any signs of bleeding such as easy bruising, nosebleeds, or blood in stool or urine. If you are experiencing any unusual symptoms or have concerns about the medication's side effects, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and guidance.

Question

I'm having some trouble with my shoulder when I throw a cricket ball. It actually hurts a lot, and for about five minutes, it feels like my hand isnt even connected to my body. I'm not sure whats going on. Could you give me some advice on what I should do about this?

Question

I'm aware that drinking energy drinks, especially before a workout, can be risky. But I ended up having one can anyway because I can be pretty stubborn. Now I'm wondering, is it safe if I hit the gym in about 2 hours? Should I wait longer? Would love to know what you think.

Question

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?
