Hi,
Thank you for your query on Healthcare Magic.
ESR is a non specific test and if it is high it is not suggestive of one particular diagnosis.
It is elevated in may chronic conditions like chronic infections, autoimmune problems, anemia, and collagen vascular problems.
As Mantoux test, TB gold are negative, and chest x ray is normal, tuberculosis infection is ruled out.
Other conditons to be ruled out depending on your clinical symptoms and medical history.
Hence I suggest you to consult the physician for examination and further evaluation.
Hope I have answered your query.
Regards.

Hello and welcome to HCM,
ESR is raised in chronic diseases.
Tuberculosis is one of the cause of raised ESR.
However, mantoux test and TB gold test are negative ruling out the possibility of tuberculosis.
Are there any enlarged lymph nodes?
Aspiration cytology can be done in enlarged lymph nodes to look for evidence of tuberculosis.
Fibroid in uterus is not of much consequence.
Fibroids need not be removed when they remain asymptomatic.
CRP, vitamin d and vitamin B 12 are all within normal limits.
You need to consult a neurologist for spinal problem on MRI.
thanks and take care
