Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are medical condition mostly caused by work related occupations and working environment, affecting patients’ muscles, joints, tendons, ligaments and nerves and developing over time. A community sample of 73 females and 32 males aged 85 and over underwent a standardised examination at home. Musculoskeletal pain was reported by 57% of those interviewed. A major restriction of joint movement range was frequent in the shoulder but uncommon in other joints(1).

Types of Musculo-Skeletal disorders in elder(2)
1. Osteoarthritis
2. Gout
3. Rheumatoid Arthritis
4. Polymalagia Arthritis
5. Cervical myleopathy and spinal canal stenosis

                      Rheumatoid Arthritis

Rheumatoid Arthritis is defined a chronic disorder as a result of inflammation, affecting mostly the flexible (synovial) joints and tissues and organs in the body. The disease affects more women than men and generally occurs after the ages of 40, causing diminished quality of life of many elders(1). According to CDC, Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) affects over 52 millions of adults in the US alone, including 294,000 children under age 18 with some form of arthritis or rheumatic conditions(2). Rheumatoid Arthritis can induced bone loss through elevating bone resorption without increasing bone formation(4). A cross-sectional population-based study of 1042 patients with rheumatoid arthritis showed that RA patients had an increased risk of death from various causes(4a).

Many herbal medicine have been found effectively for reduction of symptoms and treatment for patient with osteoarthritis(340), including
B.8.1. Individual herb
11. Turmeric
Turmeric, a cooking spice used in many culture in South East Asian, especially in India, also has been used as herbal medicine over thousands of year(373). Curcumin (CM), a yellow hydrophobic polyphenol derived from the herb turmeric, reduced inappropriate inflammatory responses through expression in inhibiting cell proliferation and metastasis and downregulating various factors, including the inflammatory cytokines and pathway(372) in animal model.
In acute and chronic inflammation, including Rheumatoid Arthritis, curcumin showed to inhibit inflammatory cell proliferation, invasion, and angiogenesis through multiple molecular targets and mechanisms of action, such as down-regulation of inflammatory transcription factors, cytokines,......related to expression of RA(374).
Dr. Park C and the research team at the Dongeui University College of Oriental Medicine suggested that the effectiveness of curcumin for treatment of RA is due to its inhibited of prostaglandin E(2) through numeral pathways such as hyperplasia of the synovial fibroblasts(375).

10. Green Tea
Green tea  has been a precious drink in traditional Chinese culture and used exceptional in socialization for more than 4000 thousand years. 
In mouse model, epigallocatechin 3-gallate (EGCG), a polyphenol present in green tea, may be potential use for prevention and treatment of RA by suppressing serum type-II collagen-specific immunoglobulin (Ig) IgG2a, T cell proliferation and relative frequencies of CD4 T cells,(inflammatory cytokines) through upregulation of the Nrf-2 antioxidant pathway in EGCG-mediated immunoregulation(369).
Dr. Riegsecker S and the research team at the University of Toledo, the effectiveness of epigallocatechin 3-gallate (EGCG) for treatment of RA is its ability in attenuation of the increased cytokine release and abnormally high levels of acute reactive proteins (ARPs) such as C-reactive protein (CRP), the a connecting link of inflammation in induced RA dysfunction(370). Furthermore, EGCG has been shown to be anti-inflammatory and protective in several studies using animal models of inflammatory arthritis, may be due to its function in reduced expression of inflammatory cytokines through its antioxidant and anti inflammatory properties(371), the Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts University suggested.

Topical capsaicin, a neuromodulators, may be used for reduced pain in patients with RA. However, it is associated with a significant side effect, Dr. Richards BL and the research team at the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital suggested(367).
A double-blind randomized study, 70 patients with osteoarthritis (OA) and 31 with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) received capsaicin (a substance P depletor) or placebo for four weeks, 80% of the capsaicin-treated patients experienced a reduction in pain after two weeks of treatment and it is considered as a safe and effective treatment for arthritis including RA(368).

6. Licorice
Licorice, one of most common Chinese herb used frequently in conjunction with other herbs in many herbal formulas is found to associate to the therapeutic effects on rheumatoid arthritis (RA) treatment through its phytochemicals glycyrrhizin (GL) and glycyrrhetinic acid (GA) in suppressing the anti-inflammatory cytokines(the COX-2/TxA2 pathway). The herbal medicine also decreases the adverse effects of conventional medicine NSAIDs or DMARDs(362).
In a collagen-induced arthritis DBA1/J mice model, oral administration of crude ascidian tunicate glycans with licorice extracts (ATECL) exerted its potential therapeutic effects for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis through the changes in inflammatory proteins and cytokines levels, reduced the matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) protein and increased interleukin-10 (IL-10) levels(363). Glycyrol another constituent of licorice, also expressed it effects in exhibition of the alleviated cartilage and bone erosion and reduced levels of serum inflammatory cytokines, through the suppression of proinflammatory cytokines (NF-κB and NFAT transcriptional activities and inhibited IL-2 expression), DR. Fu Y and the research team at the Beijing Normal University suggested(364).

Devil’s claw is also one most popular herb used in alternative medicine for treatment of patient suffering from rheumatoid arthritis, probably through anti inflammatory activity and oxidative activity(359).
Dr. Wegener T. said, " Extracts of the secondary tubers of Devil's Claw , (showed)an improvement of motility and a reduction of pain sensation in several clinical studies,......Pharmacological experiments have shown analgesic, antiphlogistic and antiinflammatory actions,..(due to) its most important constituents iridoid glycosides"(360).
In the study of investigation of the efficacy of selected complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) therapies for pain from arthritis and related conditions, devil's claw, may be the best choice for relieved pain of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), but Dr. Soeken KL suggested that additional high quality research is necessary for its validation(361).

A community sample of 73 females and 32 males aged 85 and over underwent a standardised examination at home. Musculoskeletal pain was reported by 57% of those interviewed. A major restriction of joint movement range was frequent in the shoulder but uncommon in other joints(1).

                      Rheumatoid Arthritis

Rheumatoid Arthritis is defined a chronic disorder as a result of inflammation, affecting mostly the flexible (synovial) joints and tissues and organs in the body. The disease affects more women than men and generally occurs after the ages of 40, causing diminished quality of life of many elders(1). According to CDC, Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) affects over 52 millions of adults in the US alone, including 294,000 children under age 18 with some form of arthritis or rheumatic conditions(2). Rheumatoid Arthritis can induced bone loss through elevating bone resorption without increasing bone formation(4). A cross-sectional population-based study of 1042 patients with rheumatoid arthritis showed that RA patients had an increased risk of death from various causes(4a).

B.8. Herbal and Traditional Chinese medicine 
Many herbal medicine have been found effectively for reduction of symptoms and treatment for patient with osteoarthritis(340), including
B.8.1. Individual herb
4. Stinging nettle
Stinging nettle also known as Urtica dioica, a herbal medicine with long history for the effectiveness in treating of musculoskeletal pain(355).
Dr. Yang CL and the research team at the The University of Hong Kong in the study of scientific basis of botanical medicine as alternative remedies suggested that Urtica dioica demonstrated a strong anti-inflammatory and anti-arthritic effects and may may provide new treatment opportunities for RA patients(356).
Stinging nettle leaf extracts, an Germany registered Germany for adjuvant therapy of rheumatic diseases by inhibiting the inflammatory cascade, including on NF-kappaB activation(358) in autoimmune diseases through its immunomodulating effect and mediating T helper cell derived cytokine patterns(357).
