I've got low-grade tennis elbow in both hands and my triceps tendons hurt when I work out. The doctor said surgery isn't needed and recommended rest for healing, but I need to get back to sports soon. Would PRP therapy help speed up recovery? Also, how much does it usually cost I'm willing to travel if needed.

I'm having this pinching pain deep in my left bicep, kind of near the middle and close to the bone. It kicks in whenever I flex my bicep, and I got this from the gym. I've rested but it hasn't eased up. Why hasn't the pain reduced even after taking it easy?

The most likely causes are tendinitis, a muscle strain, or nerve-related issues. However, if the pain persists or worsens, its essential to consult a healthcare provider who can properly assess your injury and guide you through a treatment plan. In the meantime, rest, ice, gentle stretching, and avoiding activities that strain the bicep are crucial steps. A tailored rehab plan or physical therapy might be helpful to fully recover from the injury.
