Hello
Thanks for query .

.The position of testicles is governed by atmospheric temperature hence hanging of the testicles lower has no significance at all neither it signify any disease .

As regards pain in knees in early morning can not be related to position of testicles and may be due to Arthritis .

Taking Hetrazan without any positive test results should be discouraged ..
The only test that can confirm filariasis is
1) Ultrasound Scanning of Scrotum
2) Blood tests to detect presence of parasite called ‎Wuchereria Bancrofti.

Consult qualifid Orthopedic surgeon for diagnosis and treatment of arthritis.
