Heavy and weak legs

I am preparing for an SI physical test on 10 June. I am experiencing persistent heaviness and weakness in both legs. There is very little pain, but my legs feel fatigued, heavy, and do not generate enough power while running. My endurance and performance have declined significantly, and during long jump my legs get exhausted very quickly. I have consulted multiple doctors. X-rays of my legs and lower back were normal. I have been prescribed Vitamin D supplements, muscle relaxants, recovery supplements, protein, electrolytes, and adequate hydration. Despite this, the heaviness and weakness persist. I have also tried taking complete rest for 2 days as advised, but there was no improvement. In fact, after the rest, I was unable to complete even 1 round of running. The main problem is weakness and heaviness in both legs rather than pain. What could be the possible cause, and what tests would you recommend to identify the root cause? With my physical test on 10 June, what can I do in the

Hip Labrum Tear

I am reaching out because I have recently been diagnosed with a hip labral tear, and I am seeking your expert guidance, medical suggestions, and a comprehensive treatment plan to help me manage the persistent pain and safely restore my mobility. The discomfort in my groin and deep within my hip joint has significantly impacted my daily routine, making regular activities, prolonged sitting, and exercise increasingly difficult to tolerate. I would greatly appreciate your recommendations on whether we should initialy focus on conservative management—such as targeted physical therapy to strengthen my surrounding stabilizing muscles, activity modifications, and anti-inflammatory options—or if my specific imaging suggests that surgical intervention is a more viable long-term solution. Please let me know what next steps, diagnostic reviews, or lifestyle adjustments you recommend so that I can reduce this joint irritation and effectively begin my recovery process under your care.

Breathing Difficulty with Palpitations

"I had been taking Shelcal XT for about 2.5 years. In my recent blood test, my Vitamin B12 level was high at around 2000. Shelcal XT contains: Elemental Calcium – 500 mg Vitamin D3 – 2000 IU Methylcobalamin (Vitamin B12) – 1500 mcg L-Methylfolate Calcium – 1 mg Pyridoxal-5-Phosphate – 20 mg Since it contains Methylcobalamin 1500 mcg, I think my B12 may have become high because I took it for a long time. So my doctor advised me to switch to plain Shelcal 500 and Ultra D3 2000 IU. I stopped Shelcal XT and for the past 3 days I have been taking only Shelcal 500 and Ultra D3 2000 IU. I was fine all this time, but for the last 3 days I have been feeling mild breathing difficulty and mild palpitations. Is it possible that these symptoms are due to changing the tablets 3 days ago?"
