Hello
Usually thyroid is nothing to do this elevated level of ESR .
As you mentioned in the query that your wife is having severe joint pain , this pain may be due to rheumatoid arthritis or osteoarthritis or any infectious joint disease .
If ESR is elevated ( supposed to be ) then definitely ESR will elevate , in your wife same thing is happening .
So without any panic ,take it easy as your wife will be cured .
So consult an ORTHOPEDIC SURGEON and get his opinion.
However, many doctors , now a days don't care about high ESR level .
I find this answer helpful
