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.

I'm looking for some advice on how to use Astralean Clenbuterol tablets. I recently got them for fat cutting and body shaping, but I'm unsure about the dosage. How many tablets should I be taking each day? Is it okay to take them daily, or should I be taking breaks in between? Also, is it alright to take them on an empty stomach? Thanks for your help!

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 been jogging and exercising regularly, and I'm curious if drinking Oral Rehydration Salt afterwards is actually beneficial for my health. Is it something I should be doing daily, or are there any downsides I should be aware of? It's been quite a routine for me, so I want to make sure I'm not missing anything important for my recovery and overall well-being.

it should be good
