I'm curious if the injection called Deca Durabolin is legal or not, and what the conditions are for using it. Is it safe for my health?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Deca Durabolin, a brand name for the anabolic steroid nandrolone decanoate, is a prescription-only medication, and its legality varies by country; in the US, it's a Schedule III controlled substance, while in some countries, like India, it's available by prescription for treating conditions like osteoporosis, anemia, and some types of breast cancer; however, using Deca Durabolin without a medical prescription or for non-approved purposes, such as bodybuilding or performance enhancement, is illegal and can pose serious health risks, including cardiovascular problems, liver damage, and hormonal imbalances

View allI'm a professional volleyball player dealing with a labrum tear from playing and really don't want surgery since I have the Asian Games coming up next year are there any non-surgical options to help me recover and stay in the game?
Yes, several non-surgical options can help you manage a labrum tear and potentially allow you to return to playing volleyball, especially if you have the Asian Games coming up. These include rest, physical therapy, corticosteroid injections, and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections

I've been hitting the gym for a couple of months now, and I'm thinking about starting protein powder. How many more months should I wait before it's okay to start taking it? And is it actually safe to include in my routine?

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.
