My mom had a knee replacement on both knees a couple of years back. She's 69 now and recently, over the last three months, her left ankle has been swelling up daily. It's concerning because she's also developed these black patches around the back of her ankle, and they've been itchy for about 15 days now. We've seen doctors and done some tests, but we're not getting any answers. The swelling's causing her a lot of pain, and she can't walk properly. Could you shed some light on what's going on here? Any insights you might have would be really appreciated.

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'm 20 and dealing with a connective tissue disorder. I'm really worried because I've been seeing rusty-colored blood in the morning and coughing up a little blood. The pulmonologist recommended a chest CT scan, and they mentioned that my DNS is normal and "cancapanca" is normal too. But my aPTT is at 30.0 seconds and prothrombin with INR is at 16.1 seconds, and my INR range is 1.36 seconds. My ANA test came back positive. I'm confused about what all these results mean and what could be causing these symptoms. Could you help explain this?
Probable diagnosis is upper respiratory tract infection.Patient is advised tab augmentin 625mg orally,thrice dailly for 5 days,tab levocetrizine 10 mg for 5 days and syrup salbutoml 10 ml thrice dailly for 5 days.
