Brief Answer:
ESR of 60 does not concern me.
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXX
ESR is a non specific test. It doesn't bother any clinician if the patient is asymptomatic and when the levels are under 100. You can retest ESR level after few week. If the levels fall, you can ignore it.
The current above normal ESR may be the inflammation happening in her anal region; inflammation from anal fissure may be the reason for elevated ESR. Like I said earlier, it doesn't concern me. So you need not be worried. You can repeat the test after few weeks when she feel better.
Hope this helps. Let me know if you need clarifications.
