I'm having this pain in my mid-chest, but it only happens with certain movements. I've talked to a bunch of doctors about it, even had some tests like an ECHO done, but everything seems normal. They mentioned it might be muscular pain or something called costochondritis. How long does something like this usually take to feel better? I'm really scared to even pick up my kid right now. Everyone has just suggested using Volini gel. Do you have any home remedies in mind that might help with this?

I'm a bit worried because my ESR is quite high at 34. I'm wondering what this really means. Could it be something serious like cancer? Also, I have lichen planus on my feet, and I'm not sure if it's connected to my ESR levels. Should I be concerned about this?

Raise in ESR signifies active or recent infection,a course of antibiotics with viatmin supplementation would help you,visit Physician for appropriate management

I've been dealing with a really sharp pain in two of my left foot fingers for the last couple of days. Its weird because there's no swelling, and I haven't injured myself or anything. A few years ago, I got some physiotherapy treatment for ankylosing spondylitis at the Indian Spinal Centre in Delhi. Could this foot pain be connected to that, or is it something completely different? I'm just trying to figure out if it's something I should be worried about.
