My mom's ESR levels are quite high, with readings of 55 mmhr for the first hour and 93 mmhr for the second hour. She's been experiencing a lot of joint, leg, and finger pain. Her blood sugar levels came back normal, so I'm a bit confused about what's going on. Could you help me understand what these symptoms might indicate and what steps we should take next?

I'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?

My mom is 44 and was just diagnosed with thumb arthritis. I'm really worried and wanted to ask can this be cured for good without surgery? Are there any ayurvedic treatments that might help? What about non-ayurvedic options? Also, how long does it usually take to heal completely, and is there a chance it could come back later?

A detailed evaluation will help decide the best course of action.

I've been having this pain on the right side of my waist, and sometimes it spreads all overfrom left to right and up to down. It's really hard for me to bend forward or backward when it tightens up. I can feel the pain no matter what I'm doing, whether I'm sitting or lying in bed. And it's making it tough to do any kind of hard work. What could be causing this and how can I ease the pain?

You need imaging and scans to determine the cause. It could be muscular pain or spine related abnormality. There are various causes to rule out before making a clear diagnosis.
