View allI'm worried about my health and need some advice. My c-reactive protein is at 6.09 mgL, and my lipoprotein a is 37.04 mgdl. Also, I'm dealing with constant neck and shoulder pain because of cervical spondylitis, and I've noticed my sr creatinine levels are high too. Can you help me understand what these numbers mean and what steps I should take next?
Your c reactive protein level of 6.09 mgL indicates inflammation in your body. To reduce inflammation, you can take Ibuprofen 400mg twice a day after meals for pain relief. For your lipoprotein a level of 37.04 mgdl, you can take Atorvastatin 20mg once daily at night to help lower your cholesterol. For your cervical spondylitis and constant neck and shoulder pain, you can take Acetaminophen 500mg three times a day for pain management. Additionally, doing neck exercises and maintaining a good posture can also help alleviate the pain. Since your sr creatinine levels are high, it is important to consult a nephrologist for further evaluation and management. They may recommend medications like Losartan 50mg once daily to help protect your kidneys. Remember to follow up with your healthcare provider regularly to monitor your progress.

Sir, I've been dealing with occasional pain in my knee joint, wrist joint, and finger joints for about a year now. Sometimes I even notice swelling in my wrist and finger joints, but it goes away after a while. My blood uric acid level is at 7.4 mgdl, and I make sure to exercise regularly. Could you please suggest a permanent treatment for this?
Aapke joints me pain aur swelling ke saath uric acid level high hone ka matlab ho sakta hai ki aapko gout ho. Uric acid control ke liye purine-rich foods (jaise red meat, alcohol, aur seafood) se bachna zaroori hai. Regular exercise ke saath, ek rheumatologist se milkar medication jaise allopurinol ya febuxostat discuss karein.

I'm really worried about my mom's health. Her ESR is high at 64 and her hemoglobin has dropped to 8.9. Two months ago, she had a blood transfusion and her hemoglobin was up to 10.8, but now it's gone back down. The doctor has her on Livogen XT, and for her vasculitis, she's taking Omnacortil 5 and MMF 101 BF. We see a rheumatologist every month, and he said not to worry about the ESR, that it will just be like that. Is this really okay? I'm just concerned and need some reassurance.
It sounds like your mothers condition is being managed carefully with the right medications, including Omnacortil and MMF for vasculitis. The low hemoglobin and high ESR can be concerning, but they are sometimes part of the ongoing inflammation or treatment effects in such conditions. It's important to follow her rheumatologist's advice and keep regular check-ups, as they are closely monitoring her health. If you're still concerned, dont hesitate to discuss further with her doctor.
