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 feeling really concerned because I've been having back, shoulder, and neck pain that even radiates to my chest for about a year now. My blood pressure was usually normal, but after doing some heavy stretching exercises yesterday, I suddenly got pain all over my body and my BP went up to 13493. I've seen an orthopedic doctor before who mentioned it might be myofascial pain. Should I be worried about the increase in my BP, or is this typical when you're in pain?
It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly, especially if you are experiencing new symptoms like body aches. A reading of 13493 is slightly elevated and may be related to the recent increase in physical activity. However, it is recommended to keep an eye on your blood pressure and consult a doctor if it remains consistently high. In the meantime, you can try over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen for your body aches.

My wrist bones are really thin, and it's starting to worry me. Is there any medicine I could take to make them thicker, or any method that could help? Id really appreciate some advice on this.
Thin wrist bones can be a concern; while there's no specific medicine to "thicken" bones, you can focus on maintaining strong bone density through a balanced diet rich in calcium (dairy, leafy greens) and vitamin D (sunlight, supplements), regular exercise (weight-bearing, resistance training), and adequate hydratio
