I recently got my blood and urine tests done for insurance purposes, and the results are a bit concerning. The report says my ESR, which I believe stands for erythrocyte sedimentation rate, is high. Plus, there's some abnormal protein showing up in my urine. I'm not quite sure what all this means. Could you help me understand what's going on and what steps I should take to bring these readings back to normal?

I've been experiencing these body aches and mild fever every few weeks, like clockwork, about every 20 days. The aches are really intense, to the point where even my ears and fingers hurt, and I just feel feverish. It's weird because sometimes I think I have a fever, but when I check with a thermometer, it usually reads normal. Even so, I feel this internal feverishness and a general sense of weakness. What could be causing these recurring body pains and this mild feverish feeling? Is there something going on that I should be worried about?
It sounds like you might be experiencing recurrent episodes of a viral infection, inflammatory response, or an underlying autoimmune condition. Conditions like rheumatoid arthritis or viral infections can cause body aches and a low-grade fever, even without a measurable temperature increase. Its important to consult a doctor to rule out any underlying causes and get a proper diagnosis.
