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'm really worried about my uric acid level being at 9.2. Is that really dangerous for my kidneys? I'm hoping to bring it down naturally. Is it possible to do that without medication, or are meds the only way to go?

My husband has been struggling with swelling and a burning sensation in his wrist for the last couple of weeks. His recent blood work showed a high CRP of 7.12 mgL and an ESR of 11 mgL. Plus, he's got a very low vitamin D level, sitting at 9.23. I'm worried about what might be causing the high CRP, especially since I've noticed his skin turning red near the painful area. The doctor recommended he take Calcirol, CoQ10, and Shelcal HD 12. Could these actually help in reducing his CRP levels?
