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'm having some trouble with my legs. When I sit on the floor with my legs folded, they start hurting, and it's tough to stand up right away. It feels like something we call "timmurlu" in Telugu. After sitting like that, I can't stand for about 5 minutes. What could be causing this, and any ideas for a solution?

That is common for everyone,no need to worry,try not to sit for long duration,change position frequently
