Feels like I've got these needle-like pricks in the joints of my lower back whenever I sit and it's been happening for the last few days. I've never had this issue before. Any ideas on how I can get it back to normal?

View allI'm a bit concerned about my Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) results. I recently got tested, and my ESR came back at 27 mmhr, which I hear is 7 mmhr above the normal range for males. Should I be worried about this higher rate? And what could cause my ESR to be elevated like this? Would love some clarity.
Hi Chaithan, An ESR of 27 mmhr is slightly elevated but not necessarily a cause for concern. It can increase due to mild inflammation, infection, stress, or other temporary factors. If youre feeling unwell or have symptoms, its best to consult your doctor for further evaluation. Take care!

I recently got my blood test results back and my ESR is at 89, which seems really high. I'm a bit worried and trying to figure out what might be causing it. I have a skin allergy right now and am taking anti-allergic tablets for it. Could the high ESR be due to the skin infection or maybe the medication? Would love some insight.
Chronic infection, allergies etc are responsible for raised ESR Not a serious problem

I'm feeling really off because my hands are getting unusually warm, but my body temperature seems normal. I've already been tested for typhoid, malaria, dengue, and jaundice, and all the tests came back negative. I'm pretty worried and not quite sure what's going on. Can you offer any insight into what might be happening?
Given the negative test results for typhoid, malaria, dengue, and jaundice, the warm hands and feeling of sickness could be related to other conditions such as anxiety, overactive thyroid, poor circulation, or anemia; consult your doctor about further testing, such as a complete blood count (CBC), thyroid function tests (TFTs), or an electrocardiogram (ECG), to determine the underlying cause.
