We suggest you to wear shoulder support brace which is available in two different sizes which makes the patient to feel comfortable as it maintains the shoulder in anatomical position and the short lever is maintained. The reason to maintain the short lever in the shoulder joint is it helps the shoulder to prevent the movements which itself is the key to have better progression of healing in the shoulder region.

Strenghtening exercises 1.pendulum stretch do this exercise first. Relax your shoulders. Stand and lean over slightly, allowing the affected arm to hang down. Swing the arm in a small circle — about a foot in diameter. Perform 10 revolutions in each direction, once a day. As your symptoms improve, increase the diameter of your swing, but never force it. When you're ready for more, increase the stretch by holding a light weight (three to five pounds) in the swinging arm. 2. Towel stretch hold one end of a three-foot-long towel behind your back and grab the opposite end with your other hand. Hold the towel in a horizontal position. Use your good arm to pull the affected arm upward to stretch it. You can also do an advanced version of this exercise with the towel draped over your good shoulder. Hold the bottom of the towel with the affected arm and pull it toward the lower back with the unaffected arm. Do this 10 to 20 times a day. 3. Finger walk face a wall three-quarters of an arm's length away. Reach out and touch the wall at waist level with the fingertips of the affected arm. With your elbow slightly bent, slowly walk your fingers up the wall, spider-like, until you've raised your arm as far as you comfortably can. Your fingers should be doing the work, not your shoulder muscles. Slowly lower the arm (with the help of the good arm, if necessary) and repeat. Perform this exercise 10 to 20 times a day. 4. Cross-body reachsit or stand. Use your good arm to lift your affected arm at the elbow, and bring it up and across your body, exerting gentle pressure to stretch the shoulder.

Gently bend your knees, opening up the armpit. Deepen your knee bend slightly, gently stretching the armpit, and then straighten. With each knee bend, stretch a little further, but don't force it. Do this 10 to 20 times each day. Starting to strengthen as your range of motion improves, add rotator cuff–strengthening exercises. Be sure to warm up your shoulder and do your stretching exercises before you perform strengthening exercises. 6.

Here are a few potential causes for the symptoms you described: balanitis: balanitis is inflammation of the glans (head) of the penis, often caused by poor hygiene, an infection, or an allergic reaction. It can result in pain, redness, and discomfort. Urinary tract infection (uti): utis can cause pain or a burning sensation during urination. It's possible that the retraction of the foreskin is irritating the urethra and exacerbating the discomfort. Excessive precum production: excessive precum production is a natural variation, but if it is causing persistent irritation or discomfort, it's best to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation. To address your concerns and find the appropriate treatment, it is important to schedule an appointment with a healthcare professional. They can perform a physical examination, review your medical history, and order any necessary tests to determine the underlying cause of your symptoms. In the meantime, you can practice good hygiene by gently cleaning the penis with warm water and mild soap, avoiding harsh chemicals or irritants. It is generally advisable to avoid manipulating or forcefully retracting the foreskin until you receive medical advice.

The symptoms you described, including cuts on the top of your penis, pain when stretching the skin, tightness, and the presence of a cream-colored fluid called smegma, can be indicative of various conditions. One possibility is balanitis, which is inflammation of the foreskin and head of the penis. Balanitis can be caused by poor hygiene, infections, irritation, or certain medical conditions. While prediabetes itself may not directly cause the symptoms you mentioned, it's important to manage your blood sugar levels and overall health. High blood sugar levels can affect the body's ability to heal and fight infections, so it's possible that it may contribute to the development or persistence of certain conditions. To address your concerns, I recommend you follow these steps: maintain good hygiene: clean the area gently with warm water and mild soap, ensuring you rinse thoroughly and pat the area dry. Avoid using harsh soaps or excessive force when cleaning. Avoid irritants: refrain from using any harsh chemicals or irritants in the genital area, such as scented soaps, lotions, or tight-fitting clothing. Consult a healthcare professional: make an appointment with a doctor, preferably a urologist or a dermatologist, who can examine your symptoms in person, provide a proper diagnosis, and recommend appropriate treatment options. They will be able to determine if your symptoms are related to balanitis or another underlying condition and advise you accordingly.

Dear lybrate-user, burning sensation in the vagina and blood in the urine can be symptoms of a urinary tract infection (uti), which is a common condition that can be caused by bacteria entering the urethra during sexual intercourse. It's possible that the burning sensation and uti are unrelated to your first sexual experience. However, it's also possible that you may have experienced some tearing or trauma during intercourse, which can cause discomfort and bleeding. In the meantime, you can try to relieve the burning sensation by drinking plenty of water, avoiding irritants like douches or scented products, and taking over-the-counter pain relievers. It's important to avoid sexual activity to prevent further irritation or infection.
