I've been having this pain in my leg, and I'm worried it might be because of my high uric acid levels. Could you suggest what I can do about it? Id really appreciate any advice you could give me.

HIgh levels of uric acid lead to gout. Relief from gout pain can be achieved through NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), such as paracetamol or ibuprofen. The medication to lower uric acid levels in the body is called allopurinol (brand name Zyloric). The dosage of each medication will have to be adjusted based on the your uric acid level reports and active symptoms. Opting for low purine content foods can also help reduce uric acid levels in the body.

View allI've been dealing with a fever every evening accompanied by chills for over 20 days, but I didn't have any other symptoms. So, I went to see a physician, took antibiotics, and had all kinds of blood tests done, along with a chest X-ray and a CT scan. Everything came back normal except for my ESR, which was elevated. Now, the fever is gone, but the ESR count is still high, and none of the doctors can figure out why. Could you help me understand what's going on?

I'm a bit concerned because my ESR is 50 mmhr. Can you help me understand what that might indicate? I'm planning to see my doctor later today, but I'd love to get some insight in the meantime.
An ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate) of 50 mmhr indicates an elevated level, which can be a non-specific marker of inflammation in the body. It is often used as a screening test to help diagnose conditions associated with acute and chronic inflammation, such as infections, autoimmune diseases, and certain types of cancer. However, it is important to note that an elevated ESR alone is not diagnostic of any specific condition and further evaluation is usually needed. Since you are already planning to see your doctor in the evening, it would be best to discuss your ESR results with them. They will be able to interpret the result in the context of your overall health, medical history, and any other symptoms you may be experiencing.
