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 on medication for the past couple of weeks, but I still have this nagging pain in my chest and the areas around it. They detected BONE TB for me on April 24th. I've been experiencing severe pain in my chest and back, and it's been really hard to move. The doctors suspected Bone TB after running some tests and doing a CT scan. They confirmed it with an FCNA test. I actually had a similar issue back in 1992, and I had surgery for it, but it was resolved and everything was fine after that. I'm just worried about why the pain is still here despite the treatment, and if there's something else I should be doing or considering? Would appreciate any advice.

Despite 15 days of medication, persistent chest and surrounding area pain, along with a confirmed diagnosis of bone TB through CT scan and FCNA test, warrants a review of your treatment plan
