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.

Question

I've been hitting the gym for the past three months to build some muscle, but I'm not seeing the results I expected. My gym instructor recommended Endura Mass to help with muscle gain. I'm a bit concerned about whether this is the right thing to do and if there are any side effects I should be aware of. Can you give me some guidance on this?

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?

Question

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.
