I recently found out that my aso titre came back positive in a test my doctor ordered because I've been having joint pains. I've looked up some information online about what aso is, but I'm still unsure about how it develops, the reasons behind it, and what effects it might have on my body. Is this something I should be really worried about?

Burning Sensation around the Anus
Possible Causes
- Anal fissures: Small tears in the anal lining can cause burning pain.
- Hemorrhoids: Swollen veins in the rectum or anus can lead to burning sensations.
- Anal abscesses: Infected pus-filled pockets near the anus can cause pain and burning.
- Proctitis: Inflammation of the rectum lining can cause burning pain.
Immediate Relief
- Warm water baths: Soak in warm water for 10-15 minutes, 2-3 times a day.
- Stool softeners: Take stool softeners like psyllium husk or methylcellulose to ease bowel movements.
- Pain relief creams: Apply topical creams or ointments containing lidocaine or hydrocortisone.
Medical Consultation
- Consult a doctor: Visit a gastroenterologist, proctologist, or primary care physician for a proper diagnosis.
- Get a physical exam: A digital rectal exam (DRE) and visual inspection can help identify the cause.
Please Note
- Don't delay medical attention: Burning sensations and pain around the anus can be symptoms of underlying conditions that require medical attention.
- Avoid self-medication: Refrain from taking medications without consulting a doctor, as they may mask symptoms or worsen the condition

I'm dealing with Ankylosing Spondylitis and I've noticed my pulse rate is always pretty high, often over 120 per minute. My blood pressure sometimes hits around 14080, with creatinine levels at 0.89. Should I be concerned about my heart rate, and what steps can I take to keep my pulse under 90 and my blood pressure below 12080?

I've been dealing with this chest pain near my breastbone for the past couple of years, and it's been especially bad since 2016. It hurts when I sit, lie down, or stretch, and I can't walk much without discomfort. Sometimes I have trouble breathing and feel fatigued all the time, plus I get headaches and feel nostalgic a lot. I've had an MRI, ECG, and various blood tests, including for Vitamin D, but everything comes back normal. The doctors think it might be costochondritis. Does this make sense given my symptoms, or could it be something else? What can I do to manage this pain better?
It sounds like youre dealing with persistent chest pain that has been diagnosed as **costochondritis**, a condition where the cartilage connecting your ribs to your breastbone becomes inflamed. While your tests are normal, this can still cause significant discomfort. Treatment typically includes anti-inflammatory medications, gentle stretching, and avoiding activities that worsen the pain.
