I'm dealing with some really bad leg pains and swelling, and my ESR levels are pretty high. I'm not sure which type of doctor I should reach out to for this issue. Can you guide me on who best to consult for high ESR and my leg problems?

View allI've just had my uric acid levels checked, and they're at 9.2. I'm wondering what precautions I should be taking with this? Also, is it okay to take calcium and vitamin supplements given this situation? I'm curious about what positive or negative effects they might have. Plus, my blood pressure is at 10050 is that something to be concerned about?
Follow a healthy diet plan that has mostly vegetables and fruits, whole grains, and low-fat dairy products. Limit sugar-sweetened foods and drinks, especially those that have high fructose corn syrup. Limit alcohol because it can increase uric acid levels in the blood and avoid short term diets for the same reason.Yes, calcium supplements can be taken by people with high uric acid, and calcium may even help lower uric acid levels

My mom is 48 and has been dealing with RA for 17 years, mostly on allopathic meds like DMARDS and Methotrexate. In 2015, she got diagnosed with ILD and was treated with Cyclophosphamide at AIIMS. Recently, she developed Avascular necrosis in both hips (stage 2 and 3) from long-term steroid use and had core decompression surgery. Now her doctors want to stop steroids and switch to Rituximab IV. Is there any Ayurvedic treatment that can completely cure these conditions? If yes, how long would the treatment take and what would it involve?
for P/E ORTHO specialist opinion is advised to the patient.

My mom is scheduled for knee replacement surgery on Feb 15 at AIIMS and is currently on Folitrax 10mg weekly. Her recent blood report showed platelets around 105,000 could the Folitrax be causing this drop since she took it before the test? Her current meds are Thyronorm 62.5 empty stomach, Pantop D40 morning, Osteofos70 weekly, Uprise 60k weekly, Folitrax weekly, folic acid at night, Shelcal 500mg night, and Etoshine90 night. Should we be concerned about her platelet levels before surgery?
No increase in platelets is not due to folitrax.. It’s due to viscosity of blood..
