I'm feeling pretty anxious right now. My ESR level came back at 63, and I'm not sure what that means. I had a fever when they did the test. Can you help me understand why my ESR might be high?

I'm really worried about my mom. Her ESR level is at 70 and her blood pressure is 180. Can you guide us on how to lower her ESR? Which type of doctor should we consult for this issue?

It is important to consult with a doctor before starting any medication regimen. For her high blood pressure of 180, she should consult a cardiologist for further evaluation and management. In the meantime, she can take antihypertensive medication like Amlodipine. It is important to monitor her blood pressure regularly and follow up with the appropriate specialists for further management.

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.
