View allI've been told by my doctor to get both an ESR and a CBC done. But a friend mentioned that ESR is actually a part of the CBC or Complete Hemogram. Can you clarify this for me? I'm a bit confused and want to make sure I understand what tests I need.
ESR (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate) is not a part of CBC (Complete Blood Count) or Complete Hemogram, although both tests are often ordered together; ESR measures the rate at which red blood cells settle in a test tube, indicating inflammation or infection, whereas CBC provides a broader analysis of blood components, including red and white blood cell counts, hemoglobin, and platelets.

I'm really worried about some calf pain I've been having in both legs. It's been bothering me for a while now, and on top of that, I've had this cold for almost a month and even though I've been getting treatment, it doesn't seem to be going away. Could the cold or the meds be causing the leg pain, or is it something else entirely?
Thta could be electrolyte imbalance or calcium deficiency.get those tested and visit Physician for appropriate management
