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?

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.

I've been having some trouble lately. Whenever I do physical activity, I end up pulling muscles like my hamstring, and I feel like my joints, bones, and muscles are just weak. Its frustrating because I'm experiencing so much pain all overlike my low back, fingers, elbows, knees, you name it. A couple of months ago, I visited an orthopedic surgeon, and after some tests, it turned out I had high uric acid levels, so they gave me medicine for three weeks. But it didnt really help, and I'm still dealing with these issues. Could you help me figure out what's going on? What should I do next?

In my opinion your uric acid levels have not become normal so you need to continue with the medication for a month and den you need to get it checked once again.. as you are saying that you are getting pain everywhere in the body you must also go for calcium vitamin d and vitamin b 12 levels checked I think that will be deranged as well... so if they are deranged then you need to take medications for that...and stop masturbating on a regular basis... becoz body becomes weak if anybody does it daily...get well soon take care...

I've been experiencing this weird pain in my bones, especially around my ribs, and sometimes it stretches up to my chest bone and collarbone. It's been going on for a few months now. It doesn't always actively hurt, but when I press on it, it's tender and starts to ache. The worst was when it felt really severe in the ribs and chest, but now it's not as intense. However, when I take a deep breath, I can kind of feel those spots like where it used to hurt. Plus, my ribs are still pretty tender to touch, particularly in certain areas that even reach out to my armpits. Should I be worried about this or get it checked out?

If pain is on touching then it's muscule pain. Simple pain killer will give u RELEIF. No need to worry
