I've been dealing with pain in my legs for the past 23 days and it's pretty concerning. I've had similar leg pains before, especially when I sit right under a fan or AC. Could that be a cause? What do you think might be going on?

I'm experiencing something strange with my fingers, and I'm hoping you could help figure out what's going on. Sometimes in a week, my right hand middle finger shows a range from 93 to 95 or from 98 to 94. But when I check my left middle finger or any other finger, it's always between 97 and 100. This inconsistency has got me really puzzled. Could there be any reason why my right middle finger is showing these changes while the others aren't? Would love to hear your thoughts on this.
saturation varies based on many reasons, like coldness

I'm a bit concerned about my Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) results. I recently got tested, and my ESR came back at 27 mmhr, which I hear is 7 mmhr above the normal range for males. Should I be worried about this higher rate? And what could cause my ESR to be elevated like this? Would love some clarity.
Hi Chaithan, An ESR of 27 mmhr is slightly elevated but not necessarily a cause for concern. It can increase due to mild inflammation, infection, stress, or other temporary factors. If youre feeling unwell or have symptoms, its best to consult your doctor for further evaluation. Take care!
