I've been dealing with this constant pain in my ribs, on both sides, but it's worse on the left. It's been going on for the last couple of years, and the pain comes and goessome days it's really bad, and others it's not there at all. I'm 31, weigh 104, and I'm about 5'7". I'll admit, I don't have the healthiest lifestyle, and I used to smoke. I've done some tests like a 2D echo, a stress test, an endoscopy, and a chest X-ray, and everything came back normal. My blood pressure is a bit high, and I have thyroid issues, but all my other blood work looks good, except for some cholesterol issues. I'm just trying to figure out what might be causing this rib pain. Any ideas on what could be going on or what I should do next?

View allI recently got my blood tests back, and I've noticed that my uric acid levels have been high for the last two cycles. My SGPT is at 55, which Ive heard is elevated. I'm not a frequent drinker, maybe just once every couple of weeks, and there's no family history of this either. What do you think might be going on, and should I be concerned about these results?
To address high uric acid levels and elevated SGPT (55), consider lifestyle modifications: increase water intake (8-10 glassesday), reduce dietary purine intake (organ meats, seafood, sugary drinks), limit fructose consumption, exercise regularly, and maintain a healthy weight; also, consult your doctor to discuss potential medications, such as allopurinol for uric acid, and to investigate the cause of elevated SGPT, which may include further liver function tests or an ultrasound.

I'm really worried about my sister because her ESR blood count is higher than normal, it's 70. She's 36 and also dealing with a lot of itching. What do you think she should do? Could you help us figure this out?
Your sister's elevated ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate) along with itching can indicate inflammation or infection in her body. It is important for her to consult a doctor for further evaluation and proper diagnosis. In the meantime, she can take an antihistamine like Cetirizine 10mg once daily to help with the itching. Additionally, she can use a soothing lotion like Calamine lotion on the affected areas. Make sure she stays hydrated and avoids scratching to prevent any skin damage.
