How Is ASO Blood Test Related To Knee Pain?

Hi, i would like to know about the ASO blood test. How is it related to knee pain? It was low for me earlier, less than the required limit, the doctor gave me medicine to bring it to normal. I was ok for a few months. Now i am having pain again, and the ASO level is high, its 300. Please let me know what is this ASO? Is there any severity if its low or high?
