I'm really worried because my CRP Reactive Protein level has shot up to 29 mgDL. I read on Google that anything over 10 mgDL means a higher risk for heart attacks. Right now, I'm dealing with some unwanted swellings and really bad back pain. How can I bring this level down quickly? Would love some advice on this.

To help reduce your CRP level and manage the symptoms you are experiencing, you can take Ibuprofen 400mg every 6-8 hours as needed for pain and inflammation. It is important to also follow a healthy diet, exercise regularly, and manage stress to further improve your condition.

View allI'm just wondering if it's okay for me to crush my 50mg Tramadol and mix it with some applesauce. I have rheumatoid arthritis and use Tramadol sometimes for pain relief. Is this safe?

I've been dealing with a fever every evening accompanied by chills for over 20 days, but I didn't have any other symptoms. So, I went to see a physician, took antibiotics, and had all kinds of blood tests done, along with a chest X-ray and a CT scan. Everything came back normal except for my ESR, which was elevated. Now, the fever is gone, but the ESR count is still high, and none of the doctors can figure out why. Could you help me understand what's going on?

I'm Meenakshi, I'm 22 and from Chennai. I've been dealing with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) for over two years now. I've been on tablets for more than a year and a half, but it seems like they're not really working for me, and things might be getting worse. I've recently started on injections. Could you guide me to a doctor who has good experience with SLE? I'm really hoping to get some advice on what to do next.
