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?

View allI've just found out that I've got a positive ASO titre in my test results, and it's freaking me out a bit. I've been dealing with joint pain, and my doctor recommended some tests, including the RA factor and ASO titre, and while the RA came back normal, the ASO titre was positive. I tried reading up on what ASO is online, but I'm still not clear on how and why it happens. Is it something really serious? Like, could it really mess with my joints and heart valves? I'm just really anxious about what all this means for my health. Any insights would be super helpful.
ASO titre comes positive in many cases,one among them is heart disease, don't worry maintain healthy lifestyle, visit your doctor for complete evaluation and appropriate management

I've been experiencing this weird pain in my bones, especially around my ribs, and sometimes it stretches up to my chest bone and collarbone. It's been going on for a few months now. It doesn't always actively hurt, but when I press on it, it's tender and starts to ache. The worst was when it felt really severe in the ribs and chest, but now it's not as intense. However, when I take a deep breath, I can kind of feel those spots like where it used to hurt. Plus, my ribs are still pretty tender to touch, particularly in certain areas that even reach out to my armpits. Should I be worried about this or get it checked out?
If pain is on touching then it's muscule pain. Simple pain killer will give u RELEIF. No need to worry
