General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi.
I've gone through your query and I can understand your anxiety.

Your lab test results shows high ESR level & normal uric acid & less calcium levels.

Normal Uric acid levels are 2.4-6.0 mg/dL(female) & 3.4-7.0 mg/dL (male). Serum calcium is between 8.6 to 10.3 mg/dL. These normal values might vary between labs.

So, prolonged ankle pain with elevated ESR might be due to recent infection or trauma, aging, pregnancy, polymyalgia rheumatica etc. I advice you to take

- NSAIDs like ibuprofen & naproxen
- Corticosteroid therapy in order to reduce inflammation if any
- Also take calcium & vitamin D3 tablets
- Hot compress & rest

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care.

Regards,
Dr. Yogapriya V, General and family physician.
