I'm a bit worried because my ESR is quite high at 34. I'm wondering what this really means. Could it be something serious like cancer? Also, I have lichen planus on my feet, and I'm not sure if it's connected to my ESR levels. Should I be concerned about this?

I'm really worried about some chest pain I've been having. It's there when I breathe deeply, move my neck, or even press on the area, and it all seems to start from the straight back. This has been going on for the past 2 years and I just don't know what to do about it. What could be causing this kind of pain?

I have been discovered with bakers cyst 12 cm in backside of my knee ...the knee hurts and calf muscles have swelled ...I am on medication for osteoarthritis. Will the cyst go away on its own and if drained by syringe will it come back Do I need surgery
A 12 cm Baker's cyst at the back of the knee can be large, causing pain and swelling, and may be related to osteoarthritis. While some Baker's cysts resolve on their own, this one may need treatment, possibly including aspiration (draining with a needle), and surgery is rarely needed. If drained, the cyst can return if the underlying knee problem isn't addressed.
