I'm experiencing some swelling in my feet and kidneys, and my blood test came back showing slightly higher uric acid levels with an ESR of 40. Could you help me understand what these results might mean? I'm a bit worried about what could be causing this.

View allI'm really worried about my mom. She's been dealing with leg pain and swelling for the past year, and nothing seems to be helping. We've done all the tests the doctor recommended, like thyroid checks and X-rays, and they all came back negative. We even tried two months of massage and Ayurvedic treatment, but there's no improvement. The swelling and pain are so bad she can hardly walk. What do you suggest we do next?
Most leg pain results from wear and tear, overuse, or injuries in joints or bones or in muscles, ligaments, tendons or other soft tissues. Some types of leg pain can be traced to problems in your lower spine. Leg pain can also be caused by blood clots, varicose veins or poor circulation. .. . To relieve mild pain and swelling: Stay off your leg as much as possible, Apply an ice pack to the affected area for 15 to 20 minutes three times a day, Elevate your leg whenever you sit or lie down, Try over-the-counter pain relievers .

I'm waking up every morning with this really bad pain going from my knees all the way down to my feet. I just had a blood test done, and it turns out I don't have diabetes, but my uric acid levels are constantly high. I know this is probably because I have meningomyelocelespinafidida at the last joint of my spine. Can you tell me what might be going on or how to manage it? I'm a bit worried about all this.
Considering your high uric acid levels and meningomyelocele (spina bifida), the severe knee-to-toe pain may be related to gout, nerve compression, or musculoskeletal issues; consult your doctor to discuss pain management option

Ive been having pain in my knees and the lower part of my feet, and it seems to happen mostly after sex, but at other times, Im okay. This started after I finished treatment for dengue last year, and its been coming and going ever since. Any idea what might be going on or how I can get some relief?
This could be due to general myalgia from muscle strain. You can opt for physiotherapy exercises for stretching the calf and thigh muscles. Cold compress and muscle relaxants can help alleviate the pain.
