Are Back Pain, ESR Count And Allergy In Eye Related?
Hi
My husband , for past 5 months gets often allergy in one of his eyes, showed several drs they checked his blood, the ESR was 44, and rest were all normal. Dr concluded saying its some internal problem which increases the esr and due to that the allergy in eyes.. He also have back pain .. it is more painful while he gets up in the morning. yesterday he again checked his esr and uric acid. the esr was 53 and the uric acid is 7.3. Is the eyes , the backpain and esr and uric acid related ? will there be any problem with his kidney? because once he had problem of kidney stones.

My suggestion
He needs investigation and orthopedic consultation for back pain and high ESR. XRAY lower back should be the first test.
1. back pain, high ESR and red eyes(uveitis or iritis) is seen in one Spine bone disease also. We need to rule out that too.
2. Less likely any kidney disease. These problems are not related to kidney stones history.
