I'm dealing with ankylosing spondylitis since 2010, and there's a constant pain in my spine. I've been swimming and taking Etoshine 60 once a day. I'm really looking for some good suggestions or any possible cure. What can you recommend?

View allI've been dealing with a really sharp pain in two of my left foot fingers for the last couple of days. Its weird because there's no swelling, and I haven't injured myself or anything. A few years ago, I got some physiotherapy treatment for ankylosing spondylitis at the Indian Spinal Centre in Delhi. Could this foot pain be connected to that, or is it something completely different? I'm just trying to figure out if it's something I should be worried about.

I'm a 50-year-old woman and recently had a blood check-up done. My ESR came back at 60mm, but everything else like renal function, urine routine, and blood tests are normal, and I don't have any other health issues. I'm curious about what could be causing the high ESR. Can you help me understand why it might be elevated?
ESR, or erythrocyte sedimentation rate, is a non-specific marker of inflammation in the body. In your case, since other parameters like renal function, urine routine, and blood counts are normal, a high ESR could be due to various reasons such as infection, inflammation, autoimmune disorders, or certain cancers. Since you have no other health problems or illnesses, it would be advisable to further investigate the underlying cause of the high ESR. I would recommend consulting with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and possibly additional tests to determine the exact cause of the elevated ESR. Treatment would depend on the underlying condition identified.
