I'm a 20-year-old girl and I'm really worried because my ESR in blood is 93, and my hb is 10.50. I also found out I have a deficiency in vitamin D. What could be causing my high ESR?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
The high ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate) in your blood could be due to various reasons, including inflammation, infection, autoimmune diseases, or certain cancers. Given your low hemoglobin level and vitamin D deficiency, it is important to address these issues as well. To help reduce inflammation and lower your ESR, you can take Ibuprofen for a few days. Additionally, you should consult with your doctor for further evaluation and management of your conditions.

View allI'm a bit concerned about my health. Recently, I noticed my folic acid levels are over 20, and I used to have high HDL but it's under control now. However, I'm experiencing some numbness in my joints. Could there be a connection between these things? Should I be worried?
Large amounts of folic acid can mask the damaging effects of vitamin B12 deficiency . There are indications that high serum folate levels might not only mask vitamin B12 deficiency, but could also exacerbate the anemia and worsen the cognitive symptoms and neurological symptoms associated with vitamin B12 deficiency. Low levels of B12 can cause numbness and tingling sensation, paresthesia(neuropathies). If B12 levels are normal then you need to orthopedician to look for bone disorders.

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?
