Problem: Article: If you don't wear adult diapers or use a catheter, focus on urinating regularly to flush your urinary tract. Additionally, do your best to use the toilet whenever you feel the urge instead of holding it. The main causes of UTIs in older men are blockages (such as kidney stones), prostate issues, and catheter use. Staying hydrated and urinating regularly can help flush the urinary tract and prevent blockages. In older men, UTIs are usually associated with kidney or prostate issues. If you develop an infection, your doctor should test your kidney function, check for prostate enlargement or infection, and look for other underlying conditions. Your doctor might recommend medication to manage any underlying issues. Soiled undergarments can lead to UTIs, so change adult diapers or briefs whenever they're dirty. While the risk of infection due to incontinence garments is higher in women, soiled diapers or briefs can still cause infections, sores, and other problems in elderly men.
Summary: Urinate regularly and avoid holding it when you have to go. Discuss your prostate and kidney health with your doctor. Change your incontinence garments often, if you wear them.

Problem: Article: Bend your elbow and be sure to extend it away from the body while you make your "run-up." You should resemble a waiter or waitress carrying a platter of food. As make your approach, turn from the waist so that your bowling shoulder is behind you. Be sure to keep your weight back once your twist your body. You will generate more energy and velocity the better you can learn to shift your weight. If you shift too early it will affect the speed of your "run-up." Once you begin to drop your elbow, allow your bowling arm to fall to your side. Your weight should still be shifted and your body should still be coiled. When you plant your lead foot, straighten your elbow and allow your hand to swing down toward the ground. This will straighten your bowling arm. Make sure you plant your lead foot so that it points toward the batter. Allow your body to uncoil as you shift your weight forward to your lead foot. When you plant your lead foot, imagine that your body is a whip and begin to thrust your shoulder forward as soon as you feel your momentum begin to carry you. Shifting your weight properly will generate momentum. Keeping your elbow straight, rotate your arm behind you and swing it over-the-top toward the batter. Throws are illegal in cricket. If you bend your arm and lead with the elbow it will count as a throw. The shoulder must be the body part through which power is generated. Umpires will call a "no ball" when a player throws or "chucks." This will not only add a little more velocity to the bowl, but will also create the proper angle of release. Snapping your wrist also prevents you from releasing the ball too late, which is often times the result of a player compensating for an improper angle of release. Overtime, a late release can result in excessive stress and/or injury to the bowling shoulder. When your hand reaches the peak of your delivery arc, release the ball and allow it to roll off the tips of your index and middle fingers. Remember to keep your arm straight so that you do not suffer any elbow injuries, or illegally "throw" the ball. Because of its weight, a cricket ball can cause injury to the elbow if it is "thrown" or bowled incorrectly. After your release the ball, fold your bowling arm into your chest and relax your elbow. As you bend your elbow, relax your forearm and hand, allowing your arm to wrap around your waist or stomach.
Summary: Carry the cricket ball close to your chin. Coil your body and lean back. Drop your elbow as you plant your bowling leg. Straighten your elbow and arm. Shift your weight to the lead leg. Thrust your bowling shoulder forward. Swing your arm like a windmill. Snap your wrist forward just before you release the ball. Release the ball. Follow through properly. Bend your elbow.

Problem: Article: Probably the most important action you can take to help alleviate the pain from OSD is to stop playing the sport or doing the activity that is contributing most to the problem. Sports that involve a lot of jumping, such as basketball and volleyball, are particularly bad for OSD. The amount of rest needed varies widely and depends on the person, but expect anywhere from a few weeks to a few months before a significant reduction in pain and swelling is noticed. Pain with OSD can be sporadic or nearly constant; it usually occurs in just one knee, but sometimes develops in both. The application of ice is an effective treatment for essentially all acute musculoskeletal injuries, including OSD. Cold therapy should be applied to the inflamed bump (tibial tuberosity) just below your kneecap for 20 minutes every two to three hours for a couple of days, then reduce the frequency as the pain and swelling subside. Always wrap ice or frozen gel packs in a thin towel in order to prevent frostbite on your skin. If you don't have any ice or gel packs, then use a frozen bag of peas from your freezer. While resting and applying ice to your knee, consider also using a special knee brace or kneecap immobilizer while having to walk in order to take the stress off your patellar tendon. Knee braces can be found at stores that sell rehabilitation and medical supplies ask a physical therapist, physician, or chiropractor for more info. Alternatively, you can try a patellar tendon strap, which fits around your leg just below your kneecap. It can support your kneecap's tendon during physical activity and distribute some of the force away from the tibial tuberosity. Complete inactivity is not necessary with OSD, but consider switching to other fun activities that don't involve jumping or running, such as swimming, rowing or golf. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatories (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen, naproxen or aspirin can be short-term solutions to help you deal with the pain and inflammation of OSD. Alternatively, you can try over-the-counter analgesics (painkillers) such as acetaminophen (Tylenol). These medications can be hard on your stomach, kidneys and liver, so it's best not to use them for more than 2 weeks at a stretch. Check with your doctor before taking any medications. Keep in mind that NSAIDs do not shorten the course of OSD. Steroids such as cortisone have powerful anti-inflammatory properties, but injections should not be given to adolescents with OSD due to the risk factors mainly, potential tendon weakening, local muscle atrophy and reduced immune system function. Once the acute knee pain has settled down, start doing some quadriceps stretching. One of the causes of OSD is repetitive quadriceps contractions (from too much jumping, for example) and also overly tight quadricep tendons. As such, learning how to stretch this muscle group may help reduce the tension and inflammation in the area where the kneecap's tendon attaches to the upper shinbone (tibia). To stretch your quadriceps while standing, bend your leg behind you so your knee is bent, your heel about at the level of your butt. Grab your ankle and pull your foot toward your body until you feel a nice stretch in your lower thigh and knee. Hold for about 30 seconds and repeat three to five times daily until you notice reduced symptoms. Stretches for the hamstrings, which are also commonly tight, may also be performed. Bending over at the waist and trying to touch your toes is a good basic hamstring stretch.
Summary:
Rest and avoid pain-inducing activities. Apply ice to your knee. Use a knee brace or patellar immobilizer. Take anti-inflammatories or painkillers. Stretch your quadriceps.
