I've recently picked up badminton again after a long break, and I've been noticing a bit of an issue. When I try to smash the shuttle hard, my lower bicep near the elbow starts to ache. I do warm-ups and stretch beforehand, but it still happens. The pain seems to drain my strength, making it hard to keep a grip on the racquet. It kind of radiates all the way down to my palm. If I take a break, the pain goes away without medicine, but it comes back as soon as I start hitting hard again. Interestingly, when I don't hit the shuttle hard, there's no pain at all. What might be causing this, and how can I prevent it?

It sounds like you may be experiencing a repetitive strain or overuse injury, possibly involving the muscles or tendons near your elbow. This can happen when exerting forceful movements after a long break. It's important to focus on gradually increasing your strength and flexibility in that area, and consider incorporating rest periods to avoid overloading the muscles.

View allI'm curious if the injection called Deca Durabolin is legal or not, and what the conditions are for using it. Is it safe for my health?
Deca Durabolin, a brand name for the anabolic steroid nandrolone decanoate, is a prescription-only medication, and its legality varies by country; in the US, it's a Schedule III controlled substance, while in some countries, like India, it's available by prescription for treating conditions like osteoporosis, anemia, and some types of breast cancer; however, using Deca Durabolin without a medical prescription or for non-approved purposes, such as bodybuilding or performance enhancement, is illegal and can pose serious health risks, including cardiovascular problems, liver damage, and hormonal imbalances
