I've been hearing these cracking noises from my knees and ankles for a while now, and I was just brushing it off. But lately, I've started noticing the same sounds coming from my chest whenever I stretch, and I'm feeling some pain with it too. It's got me a bit concerned. Could this be something serious? What do you think might be going on?

I've been having really bad head pain for the last 2 weeks. I got a blood test done, and it shows my ESR level is 72.1. I've attached the blood report here. Can you help me understand why it's so high? What could be the issue here, and which doctor should I talk to for this?

A high ESR level can indicate inflammation in the body, which could be due to various reasons such as infection, autoimmune diseases, or certain types of cancer. In your case, the high ESR level may be related to the underlying cause of your severe head pain. To address this issue, you can consult a Neurologist for further evaluation and management of your head pain. In the meantime, you can take Acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain relief. However, it is important to follow up with a Neurologist for a comprehensive assessment and appropriate treatment plan.
