I'm experiencing something strange with my fingers, and I'm hoping you could help figure out what's going on. Sometimes in a week, my right hand middle finger shows a range from 93 to 95 or from 98 to 94. But when I check my left middle finger or any other finger, it's always between 97 and 100. This inconsistency has got me really puzzled. Could there be any reason why my right middle finger is showing these changes while the others aren't? Would love to hear your thoughts on this.

View allCan you explain what the ESR test involves? My mom has diabetes, and I've been told she's having issues with her ESR levels. I'm hoping to understand more about what this means for her health.
The ESR (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate) test measures inflammation in the body by assessing how quickly red blood cells settle in a test tube, with high ESR levels indicating chronic inflammation, which can be associated with various conditions, including diabetes, infections, and autoimmune disorders, and as your mother has diabetes, an elevated ESR may indicate underlying inflammation, which can increase the risk of complications

I'm really concerned about my mom's ESR test results. It came back at 85, and I know that's above the normal range of 020. Even though we had a CECT done on her chest and abdomen, which came back clear, I'm worried about what might be causing her high ESR. She's dealing with mild arthritis and osteoporosis too. Could you help explain what might be going on, and suggest if we need to do any other tests?
A high ESR value can indicate inflammation in the body. Given your mother's history of mild arthritis and osteoporosis, the high ESR value could be related to these conditions. However, other possible reasons for a high ESR value include infections, certain autoimmune diseases, and some types of cancer. In this case, considering her symptoms and medical history, it would be advisable to consult with a Rheumatologist for further evaluation.
