It is called as rheumatic arthritis. Treatment goals •to protect the joint from further damages. •provide pin relief. •prevent deformity and disabilities. •increase functional capacity. •improve flexibility and strength. •encourage regular exercise. •improve general fitness. Physiotherapy modalities - hot/cold applications- electrical stimulation- hydrotherapy and spa therapy this should be due to the sciatic nerve compression in the right side probably close to your l5 vertebrae. It can also be due to the strain on the left leg, try wearing mcr chappals which would help you to get relieved from pain. Rheumatoid arthritis multiple joint pains / early morning painit is called as rheumatic arthritis.

Occupational therapy interventions such as assistive devices and adaptive equipments have beneficial effects on joint protection and energy conservation in arthritic patients. Assistive devices are used in order to reduce functional deficits, to diminish pain, and to keep patients' independence and self-efficiency. Loading over the hip joint may be reduced by 50% by holding a cane. In fact, most of these instruments are originally designed for patients with neurologic deficits; therefore, certain adaptations may be needed for them to be used in patients with arthritis. Elevated toilet seats, widened gripping handles, arrangements related with bathrooms, etc. Might all facilitate the daily life. The procedures needed to increase compliance of the patient with the environment and to increase functional independence are +mainly determined by the occupational therapist. Massage therapy that improves flexibility, enhances a feeling of connection with other treatment modalities, improves general well being, and can help to diminish swelling of inflamed joints. Massage is found to be effective on depression, anxiety, mood, and pain. Therapeutic exercise every joint should be moved in the rom at least once per day in order to prevent contracture. In the case of acutely inflamed joints, isometric exercises provide adequate muscle tone without exacerbation of clinical disease activity. Moderate contractures should be held for 6 seconds and repeated 5–10 times each day. Dynamic exercise therapy in improving joint mobility, muscle strength, aerobic capacity and daily functioning in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (ra). Finally, in chronic stage with inactive arthritis, conditioning exercises such as swimming, walking, and cycling with adequate resting periods are recommended. They increase muscle endurance and aerobic capacity and improve functions of the patient in general, and they also make the patient feel better. It might be due to lack of blood circulation which is the reason for you to have scrotum pain / back pain. You have to do basic aerobic exercises for you to become fit and also to maintain the blood circulation and tone. Patient education in patients with ra, sociopsychological factors affecting the disease process such as poor social relations, disturbance of communication with the environment, and unhappiness and depression at work are commonly encountered. The treatment of rheumatic diseases should provide education and information to their patients about their condition and the various physical therapy and rehabilitative options that are available to improve their quality of life. Passive treatments for rheumatoid arthritis •cold therapy reduces circulation, which ultimately decreases swelling. For example, a cold compress may be placed on the painful area. •cold therapy in acute phase •dosage 10-20mints/1-2 times a day. •heat therapy eases muscle tension and gets blood to flow more quickly to the painful area. For example, a moist, warm cloth may be used to promote circulation. •heat therapy in chronic phase •dosage 20-30mints/1-2 times a day. •hydrotherapy involves reducing your ra-related pain and other symptoms with water. With hydrotherapy, you will be submerged in warm water to relieve your symptoms. •massage can help reduce muscle tension and promote good circulation. It's also a fantastic way to help you manage stress (especially important for people with rheumatoid arthritis). •transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (tens) works by blocking pain signals from getting to your spinal cord. It also helps decrease muscle spasms. •tens short term pain relief (6 to 18 hrs) •ultrasound creates warmth using sound waves, whichenchanes circulation and decreases joint pain, inflammation, and stiffness. Exercise for acute phase: •preformed exercise at least once a day. •general assisted movement through normal range (joint mobilisation). •isometric-“static movements” helps to maintain muscle tone without increasing inflammation. Exercise for the chronic phase: •can progress the above exercise to include use of light resistance. •postural/core stability exercises. •swimming/walking/cycling to maintain cardiovascular fitness. •gentle stretch for areas that become tight, such as knees &calves. Regular exercises: •maintaing muscle strength is important for joint stability & preventing injury. •muscles can become weak following reduced activity. •pain signals from yours nerves and swelling can both inhibits muscles. •muscle length can be affected by prolonged positions immobilization and tightness can limit daily activities.

Scrotal pain can have various causes, and a differential diagnosis may include: 1. Epididymitis: - description: inflammation of the epididymis, a coiled tube located at the back of the testicle. - symptoms: pain, swelling, and tenderness in the scrotum, often accompanied by discomfort during urination. 2. Testicular torsion: - description: twisting of the spermatic cord, cutting off blood supply to the testicle. - symptoms: sudden and severe pain, swelling, nausea, and potential discoloration of the scrotum. 3. Inguinal hernia: - description: part of the intestine protrudes into the scrotum through a weakened area in the abdominal muscles. - symptoms: dull ache or heaviness in the scrotum, particularly when lifting or straining. 4. Hydrocele: - description: accumulation of fluid around the testicle, leading to swelling. - symptoms: pain or discomfort due to increased pressure. 5. Varicocele: - description: enlarged veins within the scrotum. - symptoms: dull discomfort or pain, often worsened by prolonged standing or physical activity. It's crucial to consult with a healthcare professional for a thorough examination and possibly an ultrasound of the pelvis and scrotum. This imaging can help identify the underlying cause of the pain and guide appropriate treatment. Seek prompt medical attention, especially if the pain is severe or if there are other concerning symptoms.

There can be various reasons for sagging of the scrotum and the presence of a thick, lumpy discharge. Some possible causes include: 1. Testicular atrophy: this refers to the shrinking of the testicles, which can lead to sagging of the scrotum. Testicular atrophy can be caused by factors such as hormonal imbalances, certain medications, infections, or underlying medical conditions. 2. Epididymitis: this is the inflammation of the epididymis, a coiled tube located behind each testicle that stores and carries sperm. Epididymitis can cause swelling, pain, and a thick discharge from the penis. It is commonly caused by bacterial infections, but can also be due to viral infections or other factors. 3. Hydrocele: a hydrocele occurs when fluid accumulates in the sac around the testicle, causing swelling and sagging of the scrotum. While hydroceles are usually painless, they can sometimes be associated with discomfort or a heavy feeling in the scrotum. 4. Sexually transmitted infections (stis): certain stis like gonorrhea or chlamydia can cause symptoms such as discharge from the penis and discomfort in the scrotum. It is important to get tested if you suspect an sti as they require proper medical treatment. 5. Varicocele: this condition involves enlarged veins within the scrotum, similar to varicose veins in the legs. Varicoceles can cause sagging of the scrotum and may be associated with discomfort or pain. 6. Other factors: there are other potential causes for scrotal sagging and discharge, including skin infections, allergies, dermatitis, or even certain types of cancer. However, these are less common and would require a thorough evaluation. Given the complexity of your symptoms, it is crucial to seek medical attention. You can consult me to conduct a physical examination, review your medical history, and may order additional tests such as blood test, urine analysis.

Testicular pain or discomfort can have various causes, and it's important to consult a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis and advice. They will be able to evaluate your specific symptoms and medical history to provide appropriate guidance. That being said, there are a few potential reasons for the symptoms you described. It's possible that you have an infection or inflammation in the left testicle, such as epididymitis or orchitis. These conditions can cause pain, swelling, and changes in the texture of the testicle. Another possibility is a condition called varicocele, which is the enlargement of the veins within the scrotum. Varicoceles are more commonly found on the left side and can sometimes cause discomfort or a dull ache.
