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.

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.

I'm suffering from sever back pain in lumber

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'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.

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.

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.
