What Does ESR Drop From 70 to 26 Mean?
I diagnosed with Ankylosing spondylitis arthritis on feb 2024 that time my ESR was 70 and now its down to 26 whats that mean
Joint Replacement Surgeon
Answered on 17th July '24
An ESR test measures inflammation levels in your body. A lower ESR reading, like 26, indicates less inflammation compared to a higher value like 70. This suggests the inflammatory condition is relatively better controlled. Ankylosing spondylitis causes back pain and stiffness due to inflammation in the spine. Effective management involves staying physically active through exercise routines, adhering to prescribed medications, maintaining a balanced diet, and avoiding tobacco use.

Hi my Name is Neo am 22 years I have a problem Saturday night I got a knocked on a car door Sunday I experienced pains on my penis now it’s swollen nd it changed where am it’s bruised the skin is getting shinny.
Male | Neo
It seems like you might have hurt your penis while you got hit by the car door. Pain, swelling, and bruising are not unusual in this case. The glossy skin could be a sign of recovery. Make sure you get some rest, wear loose-fitting clothes, and use ice packs to bring down any swelling. If these symptoms get worse or do not improve it would be best to see a doctor as soon as possible.

Navicular bone hurts very much
Male | 32
Navicular pain can happen due to stress fractures, tendonitis, arthritis, structural issues, injuries, or ill-fitting footwear. Avoid self diagnosis and seek advice from an orthopedist for your foot pain.

Im a female 33 years old i suffer from scoliosis since birth and ive done 3 operation the last one was in 2004 which caused injury to my spinal cord. I can feel and walk with crutch and i can take one or two step without support, my right leg is more affected than my left. I read that only injuries less than one year or 2 is perfect for stem cells, my injury is 20 years old. Would it be possible for the stem cell therapy to work in my case ? Thank you
Female | 33
You are hoping stem cell therapy might help with your scoliosis. But stem cell therapy is still being studied and is not a normal treatment for back injuries yet. Since your injury happened a while ago, it may be less likely to work well. It is important to keep following your current treatment plan. You should talk to your orthopedist about any new therapies that might help you too.

Im a 25 years old female and i ma experience upper back pain and heel pain for almost 2 weeks. Also its been some days i have a pain around right breast.
Female | 25
The pain in your upper back might be from sitting too long or having bad posture; the heel is probably hurting because you’re wearing shoes that don’t fit well. The right breast also hurts sometimes if you’ve pulled a muscle or it’s inflamed. Take some time off and use ice packs or heating pads if necessary. None of these things help though, then get checked by an orthopedist.

Male | 34
You're dealing with significant lower back pain, which can be caused by muscle strain, a bulging disc, or poor posture. This pain might feel sharp, dull, or achy, making it hard to move. To ease the discomfort, try gentle stretching, applying ice or heat, and taking over-the-counter pain relievers.

I have knee pain from the last two years. Doctors advised for knee replacement but i dont want to go for knee placement. Will physiotherapy will do. Pl advise.
Female | 64
Physiotherapy can ease knee pain but only if the condition is not too serious. You should see an orthopedic specialist who will be able to assess your knee and prescribe effective treatment. A physiotherapist can collaborate with the orthopedic specialist to provide integrated treatment.

27 years old and currently I'm feeling sever left Neck pain which worse during sitting for long periods to read and feel cracking sound when I press my Left neck! I have no family history of CA! My mother once reported to have Increased Thyroid stimulating hormone but it is not significant
Male | 27
In this case, prolonged sitting in one position and repetitive neck movements can serve as the causes. The popping is now attributed to the presence of air bubbles in the joints. It's very nice that you don't have a family background of cancer. If you can, do gentle neck exercises along with stretching. You may also use heat or ice for relief. If the pain still does not go away, you can look for an orthopedist for more help.

There is a bony protrusion on my right metatarsal region
Female | 45
You likely have an extra bone growth called a bone spur. It causes a painful bony bump on your right foot's metatarsal area. This happens when you walk or stand. Wear shoes with good support and cushioned insoles. This should help ease discomfort. However, if pain persists, see an orthopedist.

I m 65 year old, I have pain in my leg very much. I have 3 wall in my veins because of blockage. But my leg pain is very heavy. what can i do
Female | 65
This could be the result of an insufficient blood flow. The symptoms may also include coughing, breathing difficulties, shortness of breath, and chest pain, especially when exercising. Leg lifting, regular workouts, and wearing compression stockings may play a big role in the control of other health problems such as high blood pressure or diabetes. Discuss with the orthopedist the most suitable alternatives to relieve your leg pain.

i am 25 years old, around 1.5 months ago i had a road accident, cause of that i had injury on my forhead , i had depressed forhead (frontal bone fracture). my doctor just gave me some medicines, and ask to come after 1 month. is it normal or what should i do. i'm not facing any side effect, for me everything looks normal. i just want to know is it normal, or i should change the doctor and go for surgery or i should wait.
Male | 25
Usually, a physician will watch and wait before deciding whether or not to operate on you. A depressed frontal bone fracture can heal itself if no problems are being caused by it. It is good that you have no side effects. Just do as the doctor says, keep on taking your medicines and don't miss any appointment for check up. In case there is any change let me know or if things get worse consult with an orthopedist as soon as possible.

I've noticed that my wrist feels loose or unstable when I apply pressure or pull something or during arm wrestling, but it only happens when I deliberately move it in a certain way. I have noticed it more than 6 months ago.Can you tell me what might be causing this and what I should do about it?"
Male | 15
You have a condition called ligament laxity in your wrist. This means your ligaments are loose and don't support your wrist properly, making it feel unstable in certain positions. This can be due to a past injury or natural hypermobility. To help stabilize your wrist, wearing a wrist brace during activities that trigger symptoms can provide support and reduce instability. Doing special wrist-strengthening exercises can also improve strength and stability over time. Avoid activities that worsen your symptoms, and consult a physical therapist for a personalized treatment plan.

For joint pain, especially with rheumatoid arthritis, it's important to consult a rheumatologist. Over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen may help with the pain temporarily, but seeing an orthopedic specialist will give you the best treatment plan tailored to your needs.

I broke my big toe. It was pretty bad and painful and I went to the ER. They do X-ray and told me that by big toe is fractured. It was late and they didn't give me any other information nor my X-ray. They said that I have to buddy tape it for now but I cat step on it or put any shoes. Do you think I need a walking boot or some kind of immobilization to my foot?
Female | 28
I would suggest that you should consult an orthopedist for further investigation of the health status. The X-rays reports as well the correct diagnosis of fractures are necessary for severe injury assessment. Based on the level of severity, he or she may recommend immobilization using a walking boot or cast.

I am having back and pain lain today mere yeh pain hota ha kbhi kbhi par bahut zda hota hai like sahan ni hotaa ab bhi hora hai mai kaise band kru isee
Male | 20
Such pain may happen due to incorrect posture, misuse of heavy objects lifting, or sitting in one place for a long time. You can try some gentle stretches, ice or heat packs, and taking over-the-counter pain relievers if necessary to alleviate the pain. Don't forget to take breaks and move your body to prevent stiffness. But if the pain doesn't diminish or worsen, getting further guidance from an orthopedist is prudent.

My leg is pain after doing exercises
Female | 19
After the massaging of muscles, it's frequent to be struck by pain in your leg post-workout. This discomfort is often a result of the muscles becoming stronger. Sharp pain is an injury if you are unable to move the leg as usual. To help you, try resting, applying ice, and stretching gently.
