I've been having this pain between my shoulder and elbow on my right arm when I wake up in the morning. It's been happening for the past month or two. I usually sleep on my left side, and I've had some fractured vertebrae diagnosed in my mid-upper back along with osteoporosis. Most of the time, the pain lessens after an hour or two, but today it was really bad. Could this be related to my previous back issues or osteoporosis? What should I do about this?

I'm trying to understand why my ESR count came out really high at 95mm in the 1st hour. Everything else in my CBC looks normal. What could be causing this elevated ESR?

A high ESR count can be caused by various conditions such as infections, inflammatory diseases, autoimmune disorders, and certain types of cancer. In your case, with a normal CBC, further evaluation may be needed to determine the underlying cause of the high ESR. Depending on the specific symptoms and clinical findings, your doctor may recommend additional tests or imaging studies to make a diagnosis.

I've been dealing with lower back pain and taking homeopathy medicine, but now I've got a new issue. About 45 minutes after I fall asleep, I get this intense pain that spreads through my entire back on both sides of my spinal cord, and it becomes impossible to find a comfortable angle to sleep. Then, in the morning, the pain in my spinal cord is really bad, but it eases up after 10 or 15 minutes, and I'm back to my usual lower back pain. What can I do to get some relief and finally get a good night's sleep?
