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.

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.

It is important to be cautious when taking medications that can cause bleeding disorders while engaging in physical activities like going to the gym. The chances of experiencing internal bleeding problems can vary depending on the individual's health condition, dosage of the medication, and other factors. It is recommended to avoid high-impact activities and to monitor for any signs of bleeding such as easy bruising, nosebleeds, or blood in stool or urine. If you are experiencing any unusual symptoms or have concerns about the medication's side effects, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and guidance.

I'm really into my morning walks, and I've been gradually increasing my distance to about 22.5 kms. But lately, I've noticed I'm super exhausted by the time I get home, and sometimes I'm just drowsy all day. I've even caught myself dozing off during travel. This has been going on for about a month. Any idea why this might be happening or how I could fix it?

It sounds like you may be experiencing fatigue and drowsiness due to physical exertion. You may benefit from taking a supplement like Vitamin B12 to help boost your energy levels. I recommend taking a Vitamin B12 supplement with a dosage of 1000 mcg daily. Additionally, make sure you are staying hydrated before, during, and after your walk. If the symptoms persist, it would be a good idea to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation.

I'm dealing with some really bad pain on my left side, kind of where the lower rib muscles are, and I think its from doing this really intense march past practice. Its swollen and the pain is getting pretty unbearable right now. Can you help me figure out whats going on and what I can do to ease this pain?

It sounds like you may have strained the muscles in your lower rib area from intense physical activity, like march past practice. I recommend resting, applying ice to reduce inflammation, and taking over-the-counter pain relief if needed. If the pain persists or worsens, it's important to see a healthcare provider for a proper assessment and treatment.
