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
Dr. Dhankecha Suggests...
Consult a Rheumatologist

View allI've noticed that whenever I'm near an AC or when the weather gets cold, my hands and feet turn icy really fast. They get so chilly that other people comment on how cold they feel when I touch them. But when the weather is normal and there's no AC, everything seems fine. I'm curious about what could be causing this.
While in the vicinity of AC or cold weather, your hands and feet getting cold quickly could be due to a condition called Raynaud's disease. Raynaud's disease is a condition that causes some areas of the body, such as fingers and toes, to feel numb and cold in response to cold temperatures or stress. In such cases, it is recommended to keep your hands and feet warm by wearing gloves and socks, and avoiding exposure to cold temperatures. In severe cases, medications like nifedipine or amlodipine can be prescribed to help dilate blood vessels and improve circulation.

I've been having severe back pain for a while now lower back, middle, even up to my shoulders. It's been two years since my uterus was removed due to stage 1 cervical cancer, and my follow-up ultrasounds every three months show everything's normal, including my ovaries. The X-rays are clear too, but the pain won't go away. It's really affecting my daily life and mental peace. What could be causing this constant back pain even though all my reports are fine? Any suggestions on how to manage it?
MRI is advised,post share the report.
