I'm trying to understand why my ESR count came out really high at 95mm in the 1st hour. Everything else in my CBC looks normal. What could be causing this elevated ESR?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
A high ESR count can be caused by various conditions such as infections, inflammatory diseases, autoimmune disorders, and certain types of cancer. In your case, with a normal CBC, further evaluation may be needed to determine the underlying cause of the high ESR. Depending on the specific symptoms and clinical findings, your doctor may recommend additional tests or imaging studies to make a diagnosis.

View allI'm dealing with body pain every morning, and it's so hard for my mind to focus all day. I've been relying on Dolo 650 to get through, but now I feel like I can't live without it. I'm worried I'm becoming addicted. Are there other medications or ways to manage this pain and help my mind so I can have a better day-to-day experience without being dependent?
Using Benadon (diphenhydramine) without a medical issue is not recommended. Benadon is an antihistamine, not a heart-strengthening medication. It's essential to consult a doctor before taking any medication, especially if you're concerned about heart health or erectile dysfunction medication side effects.

I'm dealing with this recurring issue where my uric acid levels get high. I've been diagnosed with gout arthritis in the past, and I've been taking Febustat 40 daily whenever I notice any pain or swelling. I've tried taking it twice a day, which seems to help, but if I stop for a while, the pain comes back. It used to only affect my right knee, but now it's happening in my left knee too. What should I do about this? Is there a better way to manage it?
