I've been having this really sharp stabbing pain in my right chest, and it's been going on for a year now. I've had a breast ultrasound, an X-ray, an echo, and an MRI of the ribs, but everything came back normal. What could be causing this pain, and how should I proceed from here? It's starting to worry me.

View allI'm 30 and have been dealing with ankylosing spondylitis since June 2020, with a positive HLA-B27 test. I really want to avoid my vertebrae fusing together but don't want to rely on medicines. Can exercises, physiotherapy, or other therapies help prevent fusion? If fusion does happen, can it be reversed with therapy or will I need surgery? I can handle the pain but the idea of my spine or neck fusing scares me. How long does fusion usually take if it happens? Any advice would mean a lot.
A combination of medicines and exercise will be the best way forward. Taken alone neither will help completely.

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've just had my uric acid levels checked, and they're at 9.2. I'm wondering what precautions I should be taking with this? Also, is it okay to take calcium and vitamin supplements given this situation? I'm curious about what positive or negative effects they might have. Plus, my blood pressure is at 10050 is that something to be concerned about?
Follow a healthy diet plan that has mostly vegetables and fruits, whole grains, and low-fat dairy products. Limit sugar-sweetened foods and drinks, especially those that have high fructose corn syrup. Limit alcohol because it can increase uric acid levels in the blood and avoid short term diets for the same reason.Yes, calcium supplements can be taken by people with high uric acid, and calcium may even help lower uric acid levels
