Question 1

i had a quad muscle tear now after 3 months i have started running about 6 km a day does it mean i can play soccor again is there a way to test my leg?

Accepted Answer

Yes, there is which: your Doctor can do, by clinically examining you and checking the strength and comparing It to the other side.
If you are already running, I am sure you are ready to paly soccer, BUT have it checked by your Doctor.
Good Luck.

Question 2

im having groin pain and cant even walk. could it be hernia? or just muscle tear? i play soccer. and did the splits by accident.

Accepted Answer

Possibly: It is possible you have a hernia, but another possibility that seems more likely is that you have injured your hip; especially with the info provided that you can t walk on it and it may have begun after "doing the splits by accident". Hip problems often cause a referred pain that goes to the groin.  Don't hesitate to be seen for a specific diagnosis.

Question 3

middle back pain in a 11 yo. started when school began. has to carry a back pack- mildly heavy. doesnt play sports. poor posture. always had low muscle tone. also c/o leg pain 1-2 week from walking so much. hes pretty sedentary. pain mild.worry?

Accepted Answer

: My first take on a pain complaint at that age is to believe them and evaluate them in the office. Sometimes testing is needed. There are some simple explanations but a few unusual ones that can be more important.

Question 4

wen can i masturbate how many days can i do it with out effecting muscle mass and testosterone plus i dont play sports but i workout every 5 days or 3 and rest 2 days?

Accepted Answer

No real difference: Masturbating causes the ability to gain muscle, as masturbating requires movement. Whichever muscles are moving (or working) have ability to gain size, strength, or stamina. Of course, whether or not there is gain depends on how muscles are working, such as longer periods of light muscle work vs. shorter periods of heavy work. For most folks, masturbation-related muscle changes are not noticeable.

Question 5

lump near my shin. i feel it is a muscle that connects to my foot. it may be a nerve, doesn't bother me when i play sports i feel the nerve move when ?

Accepted Answer

Need to examine: What you described suggests herniation of the muscle through fascia, the fibrous covering of the muscle. If it does not bother you, you may let it be.
For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex, if you have sex.

Question 6

if you have tendonitis in leg/knee and don't rest it, continuing to play impact sports, can that lead to a more serious injury in that leg?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Yu need to see your  physician. The presence of  fendonitis  needs  to be treated  so it  does  not go into anything else.

Question 7

how long will my intercostal rib muscle tear take to heal? it's so painful. it's been like this for a week.

Accepted Answer

Hard to say: Rib problems can cause a lot of pain for a long time and can cause spasms. This is expected. See your MD for evaluation and meds If needed. If still concerned, additional imaging might be needed.  Ibuprofen and a muscle relaxant might help

Question 8

if i play sports a lot does that make periods take longer to come because i still didn't get my first period yet. should i stop sports?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Your first period can be delayed if you're very active with sports.  Nevertheless, you should still have other signs of puberty.  I recommend any young woman beyond age 15 that has not had a period be evaluated.  You do not need to stop sports, but if your examination and labs are normal, you I would probably give you hormonal supplements to make sure you're not losing too much bone denisty.

Question 9

will a moderate popliteus muscle tear heal on its own? the mri said that its not a full thickness tear but the tear is pretty significant.

Accepted Answer

The popliteal muscle: is an "accessory" muscle...that is it "shares" function (in this case FLEXION or BENDING the leg at the knee).. a tear of the muscle will not heal on its own...however it should be fixed (surgery) only if it is PAINFUL or results in NEEDED strength in the leg! (Jumping for example)
Hope this is helpful!
