I'm dealing with some really bad pain on my left side, kind of where the lower rib muscles are, and I think its from doing this really intense march past practice. Its swollen and the pain is getting pretty unbearable right now. Can you help me figure out whats going on and what I can do to ease this pain?

It sounds like you may have strained the muscles in your lower rib area from intense physical activity, like march past practice. I recommend resting, applying ice to reduce inflammation, and taking over-the-counter pain relief if needed. If the pain persists or worsens, it's important to see a healthcare provider for a proper assessment and treatment.

I'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'm really into my morning walks, and I've been gradually increasing my distance to about 22.5 kms. But lately, I've noticed I'm super exhausted by the time I get home, and sometimes I'm just drowsy all day. I've even caught myself dozing off during travel. This has been going on for about a month. Any idea why this might be happening or how I could fix it?

It sounds like you may be experiencing fatigue and drowsiness due to physical exertion. You may benefit from taking a supplement like Vitamin B12 to help boost your energy levels. I recommend taking a Vitamin B12 supplement with a dosage of 1000 mcg daily. Additionally, make sure you are staying hydrated before, during, and after your walk. If the symptoms persist, it would be a good idea to consult with a healthcare professional for further 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.
