Brief Answer:
You need to reduce your triglyceride and uric acid level.

Detailed Answer:
Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.

Your triglyceride levels and VLDL cholesterol levels are high. It increase the risk of coronary heart disease on long term basis. So you should reduce it.
You should take low fat diet with high amount of polyunsaturated fatty acids.
If it is not controlled by diet then drugs like atorvastatin or simvastatin is useful. It is prescription based medicine so you should consult your physician for that.

Your uric acid level is also high. It is end product of protein metabolism. you should reduce the protein intake. Avoid high protein diet. Drugs like allopurinol can be taken to reduce the uric acid level.
Rest all reports are normal.

Overall it is not a serious problem. There is no any emergency conditions. So don't worry much about that. But actions are needed.
Hope I have answered your question. If you have any doubts then feel free to ask me. I will be happy to answer.

Brief Answer:
Nothing to worry about testis.

Detailed Answer:
Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
I have seen your uploaded images. Testis and scrotal skin is ok. Don't worry about that. And it has no relation with high ESR also.

Discomfort in back neck can be due to some muscular problem or some joint problem. For that You can take analgesic drugs for 2 to 3 days. If it remains persistent then examination is needed.

Hope I have answered your question. If you have any doubts then feel free to ask me. I will be happy to answer.
