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?

View allI'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.

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?
