Weightlifting, like many sports played at a high level, causes specific adaptation of the body and this adaptation enables the athlete's performance to improve. If you undertake endurance training on a regular basis, your endurance improves. If you undertake training in the sport of Olympic Weightlifting, your power, strength and athleticism improves. In any sport training, the organs of the body respond to training and improve their functioning. There is no evidence that the liver in Weightlifters is caused damage as a result of proper training. However, there could be damage to the liver if an athlete takes performance enhancing drugs. This is not permitted in sport but unfortunately people do. All drugs taken in excess can damage the liver including paracetemol which millions of people take everyday.
Absolutely! In fact, I'm suffering from it now. I thought I had a broken rib because the pain was so intense that even taking a deep breath, would cause extreme pain. Even bumps on the road when driving, where causing me to hold my breath to keep down the pain. After 2 days of this pain, I went to see my chiropractor. He did his adjustment, but I got no relief. I was massaged before the adjustment, but it was not done on the sore spot, which is on the right side in the rib area. They massaged my back so that was fruitless. The next day, I was no better. In fact, I felt worst. And that's when it dawned on me, it might have been caused by a draft. My computer is near a window, on the right side of my body. Being a Senior, I'm not as active as I was so the muscles, have become weak and susceptible to drafts. That day, was blustery and cold. Since my windows are drafty, the cold wind attacked the side muscles of my ribs. And then I realized what the real cause was. I'm also Mexican and the cure is SUPER EASY but ONLY if you have a 2nd person to help you! Being single and living alone, I have no help. The pain can be solved by gently patting, the muscles around the rib area with someone's hand. It's the same patting you use when burping a baby to get the gas out of it's tummy. It works wonderfully for drafts in backs. My Mexican mother taught us this when we were small. And when you have a stiff neck from a draft, take a towel and warm it up in the microwave then gently roll the towel from side to side on the neck. Don't give yourself a friction burn. Gently rub the towel back and forth while gently moving your head to ease the pain. After a couple of session, you notice relief right away.
Yes your butt can hurt, but its probley from sitting on your butt all day and being lazy or you maybe just have to take a crap!!
First of all: I'm not a doctor, but was suffering from continuous pains in shoulder, fixed it all myself by reading literature and consulting with real doctors. Be warned.
Possible causes that I think of are: a trauma, a strained muscle, a posture deficiency, and a myofascial trigger point. Or all four together. You probably should visit an orthopaedist first, to check out if you have any posture deficiency, no matter whether it is caused by trauma or not. If you do, then you'll probably be prescribed some corrective treatment, a series of exercises and stretches. It is usually because of posture deficiencies (a short leg, scoliosis, kyphosis etc) one group of muscles is overloaded, and another is overstrained. The latter causes continuous pain. If that is your case, then first identifying, and then stretching the group that is overloaded, and also exercising the weak, overstrained muscles should help immediately within 1-3 days. However, don't do that without consulting a doctor first.

"The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook" by C.Davies Good answer by the first person, I would only add that referred pain can be the result of neurological or vascular injury as well, and should be evaluated by a doctor before undertaking any self-help regimen, as these can result in permanent injury. Some of the things done to relieve muscle strain can aggravate these conditions, so you should have a more definitive diagnosis before undertaking them.
Inflammation is a response from your immune system in response to an irritant. For example, if you sprain your ankle, your immune system creates a protein called a Circulating Immune Complex (CIC for short). The CIC travels down to the injured ankle and causes pain and swelling.
The pain you feel is to inform you of the injury or damage. And the swelling is protective as it prevents you from moving it and causing more irritation. This is also your body's way of running to the problem with fresh blood, antibodies and vital cells in order to begin healing and repairing the damage.

Doan's is just Ibuprofen - if you want a decent OTC med, try one of the following:
1. Bayer Back and Body Aspirin
2. Tylenol Rapid Release Gel Tabs
3. Aleve
Aleve you need to take for a couple of days before you really get the full benefit. The other 2 I use regularly when I don't feel the need for Percocet. Both work fast and great. I'd use Tylenol RRGT's if you need something at night, as the Bayer has caffeine in it.
it is from a lack of water in your body
Edited: Because lack of ATP.
The standard procedure for lumbar epidurals is 3 injections over a 3 week period. However, if the patient hasn't shown any improvement or relief after the second week, surgical options are considered. As long as the patient is improving, a doctor can make the decision to push the option a bit further.
If your doctor is proceeding with another injection, you must be responding. In any case, painful though they may be, epidurals are nothing compared to spinal surgery, and you should avoid any surgical option as long as other therapies are working.
A hairline hip fracture, also known as a stress fracture, can be one of the hardest fractures to diagnose. You would experience a great deal of pain when any pressure is placed on the leg in which the hip fracture is located.
No you don't have to be completely naked. A good massage therapist will keep you covered with towel's all the time anyway.If you are female its best without a bra so that the back can be fully open for a good massage,but your breasts will be covered. For Thai Massage you keep fully dresses with soft clothes.

-General fatigue.
-Repetitive motions.
-Medical conditions (from heart attack to stomach irritation).
-Lack of activity (such as a broken limb in a sling or cast).

No, it is not. It's a normal biproduct of anaerobic respiration. After physical exercise the liver converts the lactic acid back to pyruvate which allows it to continue with cellular respiration.
