I've been experiencing this constant tightness and strain in my upper chest wall, like it's always tense, especially when I do anything using my left hand. I recently found out my Vitamin D and B12 levels are significantly low from a blood test. I've started taking Tayo 60K for Vitamin D, and just a couple of days ago, I began MeAxon Plus for B12. I'm not sure if these are related, but about 10 months ago, I lifted a heavy bag and twisted my spine, which caused me quite a bit of pain, but it went back to normal the next day. However, the strain in my chest hasn't gone away since then. Can you help me understand what's going on and how I can get better?

I injured my right wrist TFCC around two months back and the doctor recommended surgery. Can you explain the difference between open surgery and arthroscopy for TFCC repair? I'm a bit nervous about the options and recovery process

Arthroscopy is minimally invasive with quicker recovery; open surgery is used for more complex TFCC tears.

I've been having some moderate pain in my tennis elbow area, and I'm starting to wonder if there's any way this could be related to excessive masturbation. Could that be causing it or making it worse? I'm really curious about how these things could be connected.

Excessive masturbation is not directly related to tennis elbow pain. The pain in your elbow is likely due to overuse of the muscles and tendons in that area. To help alleviate the pain, you can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen (Advil) or naproxen (Aleve) as per the recommended dosage on the package. Additionally, you can apply a topical analgesic cream like diclofenac (Voltaren) to the affected area. Resting the arm, using a brace for support, and doing gentle stretching exercises may also help in relieving the pain. If the pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.
