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?

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.
