I'm really worried about my dad. His hands and feet swell up if he's sitting for too long, and it doesn't seem like they return to normal the way they used to. We're considering looking into ESR levels but could really use some advice on that. Also, are there specific foods he could eat that might help to get his ESR back to normal?

View allI've been having this pain on the right side of my waist, and sometimes it spreads all overfrom left to right and up to down. It's really hard for me to bend forward or backward when it tightens up. I can feel the pain no matter what I'm doing, whether I'm sitting or lying in bed. And it's making it tough to do any kind of hard work. What could be causing this and how can I ease the pain?
You need imaging and scans to determine the cause. It could be muscular pain or spine related abnormality. There are various causes to rule out before making a clear diagnosis.

My mom has osteoarthritis which runs in our family We saw two doctors with different opinions one suggested medications like Nyros Max and Sazo 500 to manage pain and strengthen cartilage while the other recommended a Synvisc injection for temporary relief and mentioned knee replacement surgery might be needed later I'm confused about which treatment path to follow for her condition
I recommend starting with physiotherapy and painkillers to manage your condition. If there's no significant improvement after a reasonable period, we can then consider surgical options.
