This condition started about May of this year I used to play golf up to 3 times per week but as my condition deteriorated I lost all distance on my golf shots.

Hello,
The symptoms can be related to many medical conditions.
I suggest doing a blood test, electrolyte level, and glycemic level.
Meanwhile, I also suggest using anti-inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen.
I also recommend using a Magnesium supplement for muscle relaxation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
