I also have unexplained gastrointestinal problems and have been diagnosed with Iva a year ago. I don't take any medications, only supplements like preworkout, protein, and creatine. I've been diagnosed with GAD but manage it through exercise and meditation. How long has this been a concern for you? It’s been a constantly coming and going for years and I have it very often.

My forearm is giving me a lot of pain, specifically on the outside of my right forearm. It hurts when I grab anything, make a fist, or extend my arm outward. The pain is mainly achy and feels like a pulling of the muscle or tendon. I'm a 33-year-old carpenter with a history of heavy lifting and outdoor work, but I can't recall any specific incident that caused this pain. It's been several days and the pain is not going away. What could be causing this and what should I do?
