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 experiencing sores in my mouth and pain in my lower limbs. Last year, I had sores in my mouth which were followed by sores on my genital area and similar pain in my lower limbs. Could this be Behet's disease, or might it be something else? I'm really concerned and would appreciate your guidance.
It is possible that you are experiencing symptoms of Behcet's disease, a rare autoimmune condition that can cause mouth sores, genital sores, and inflammation in the blood vessels. However, it is important to consult with a doctor for a proper diagnosis. In the meantime, you can manage the symptoms with medications like colchicine for mouth sores and pain relief for lower limb pain.

I'm really concerned about how excessive masturbation might affect my bones, joints, and muscles. Could it lead to any serious issues like wearing down my bones or joints? I've been hearing crepitus-like sounds from them and I'm wondering if that's something I should worry about. Can you help me understand its effects?
Excessive masturbation does not directly cause wear and tear on bones, joints, or muscles. However, chronic overuse of certain muscles during masturbation could potentially lead to muscle strain or fatigue. Crepitus, or the crackling or popping sound that can occur in joints, is usually caused by air bubbles in the joint fluid or rough surfaces of the joint moving against each other. If you are experiencing any concerning symptoms related to your bones, joints, or muscles, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and management.
