I'm really worried about some chest pain I've been having. It's there when I breathe deeply, move my neck, or even press on the area, and it all seems to start from the straight back. This has been going on for the past 2 years and I just don't know what to do about it. What could be causing this kind of pain?

I'm really worried about my mom's health. About a month ago, her ESR level was really high, around 120, when we took her to the doctor because she kept having back pain. They also told us she had low hemoglobin, and they gave her some meds to bring the ESR down. I just checked today, and it's now at 20, which seems better, but I'm still concerned. What are the chances she might have something serious like blood cancer or arthritis?

I'm really worried about this report I got. It says there's a swelling on the dorsum of my left hand, with lots of polymorphs and macrophages, along with some debris. The report mentions a negative result for acid-fast bacilli, and recommends a PCR test for M. tuberculosis and a culture and sensitivity test. I'm not sure what all of this means or what I should do next. Could you help me understand the situation and what the best steps are to take from here? I'm feeling pretty anxious about it.

I'm having this pain on the right side of my sternum and the MRI mentioned something about subchondral cystic changes. It really bothers me because the pain gets better when I lie on my back, but it comes back as soon as I start moving around or even when I'm just walking. What could be causing this and is there something I should be doing to help with the pain?
