Hello.
Maintain a right standing and sitting posture, keep your back always straight, avoid carrying weight on back. Hold or carry weight divided equally in both the hands or shoulders (to avoid over straining on one particular hand or shoulder).
Lie down on bed on your back without pillow.
Exercise:
Practice Shavasana or Corpse Pose as it looks like a dead body. If practiced correctly and with full efforts, can relax every body part, relaxing not only the body but also the mind: Spread the legs one to two feet apart, the toes are turned outwards, the heels facing each other, a comfortable distance apart. Bring the arms a little away from the body, palms turned upward. Relax the neck and allow it to turn to the side if it is more comfortable.
Close the eyes and focus the attention on the body, breathing normally.
Take homoeopathic medicines - Arnica 200 and Rhus Tox. 200 - take both of them thrice daily for 1 week. Also, apply Schwabe's Topi-Arnica and Topi MP Gel on the affected area in circular motions gently thrice a day.
Get back to me thereafter.

The pain that you had years back can be due to two reasons Torsion. This mean that that blood vessels to testes get twisted leading to reduced blood supply to the testing.
2.orchitis mean there can be infection in the testis.
Both the condition can reduce the size of the testis which is called atrophy.
As the other testing is functioning normally you are not having trouble.

Hi thanks for your query and welcome to lybrate. I am Dr. Akshay from fortis hospital, new delhi.
Actually pain at calf/leg region can be due to many reasons, commonly it is muscular in nature but it can also be due to tendons, nerves, blood vessels etc.
My advise to you for initial 2-3 weeks will be: - ice packs application intensively with elevation of your limbs at night
- take a short course of anti-inflammatory medication as per your body's suitability
- stop your physical activity till pain completely subsides
- intensive physical therapy, training and proper muscle conditioning once pain has subsided
- slow resumption of physical activities with proper pre activity warm up and stretching of muscles and short increments in duration of physical activity each day as per pain tolerance.
- we will get some blood tests for you - serum vitamin d and serum potassium levels, esr and crp once you have all these reports then you can contact me as I can advise you for proper supplementation
do not hesitate to contact me if you need any further assistance.
You can also discuss your case and treatment plans with me in a greater detail in a private consultation.

Hi,
Hope your father have suffered it since long and the causes might be caused by a sudden injury, an overuse injury, or by an underlying condition, such as arthritis. Treatment will vary depending on the cause. Symptoms of knee injury can include pain, swelling, and stiffness. If you’ve twisted your leg, taken a hard fall, or otherwise strained your knee, first aid at home can be helpful. Remember the acronym “RICE” for treating strains and sprains:
•Rest
•Ice
•Compression
•Elevation
Get off your feet and apply a cold compress or bag of ice to the knee. Frozen vegetables, such as peas, will also work if you have no ice handy. Wrap your knee with a compression bandage to prevent swelling, but not so tightly it cuts off circulation. While you’re resting, keep your foot elevated. OK.
Asked for male, 24 years
Apply crepe bandage. Take pain killer. Take X ray Knee and consult orthopedic specialist with report for advice and treatment.

You should ask her to avoid excessive strain on knees. Take diets rich in calcium and visit a good homeopath. Medicines will eventually reduce the speed of degeneration taking place in her knees. You can consult a homeopath for complete cure. For quick relief you can even visit an orthopedic doctor.

Hi
Thanks for your query and Welcome to Lybrate. I am Dr Akshay from Fortis Hospital, New Delhi.
You have a history of pain in your knees since 2 days.
Can you tell me whether you had any twisting injury to your knee region?
Also you have not mentioned whether you have pain, swelling, any instability etc in the affected knee?
You can start with activity modification, ice packs and gentle anti inflammatory medication initially and let me know in 2-3 days time how you are feeling?
Do not hesitate to contact me if you need any further assistance.
You can also discuss your case and treatment plans with me in a greater detail in a private consultation.
