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'm trying to make sense of my blood report, and I'm a bit worried. It showed 60mmhr ESR and 45 lymphocytes. I learned a bit about ESR, but I'm not sure what steps I should take next. I've also been dealing with sinusitis, headaches at the back of my head, shoulder pain, and occasional dizziness that makes walking tough. My urine test came out normal, but I'm unsure what other tests I should consider. Could you help guide me on what to do next?
Consult a specialist, such as an ENT doctor, rheumatologist, or immunologist, to discuss your elevated ESR (60mmhr) and lymphocytes (45%) levels, and symptoms like sinusitis, headache, shoulder pain, giddiness, and difficulty walking, and they may recommend further tests, such as CRP, ANA, RF, vitamin B12, and MRI or CT scans, to rule out underlying conditions like infections, autoimmune disorders, or neurological issues, and develop a personalized treatment plan.

I'm experiencing a sore throat, night fevers, and sweating a lot. I've also lost my appetite and have body aches. My left leg is swollen and feels really hard to move, which is making it tough to sleep and wake up. My urine showed bacteria, and I had a Mantoux test done. They mentioned my ESR is raised, and my calcium levels are lower than normal. What could be going on with my health?

I'm really worried about my uric acid level being at 9.2. Is that really dangerous for my kidneys? I'm hoping to bring it down naturally. Is it possible to do that without medication, or are meds the only way to go?
