Is it possible for AVN to heal on its own without surgery if my right hip is stage 3 and left hip is stage 2
While avascular necrosis (AVN) is a progressive condition, and often requires surgery to manage, it's possible for some cases to resolve on their own or be managed conservatively. The stage of AVN and the specific location within the hip can influence whether non-surgical approaches are viable

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.
