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 experiencing this weird pain in my bones, especially around my ribs, and sometimes it stretches up to my chest bone and collarbone. It's been going on for a few months now. It doesn't always actively hurt, but when I press on it, it's tender and starts to ache. The worst was when it felt really severe in the ribs and chest, but now it's not as intense. However, when I take a deep breath, I can kind of feel those spots like where it used to hurt. Plus, my ribs are still pretty tender to touch, particularly in certain areas that even reach out to my armpits. Should I be worried about this or get it checked out?

If pain is on touching then it's muscule pain. Simple pain killer will give u RELEIF. No need to worry
