Hi I did review your concern.
ESR is a manifestation of chronic inflammation that your mother is having and it is related to joints as suggested by her pain in joints. such problems can be seen with rheumatoid arthritis or other inflammatory/autoimmune joint problems and need to be properly diagnosed.
The treatment includes steroids and immunomodulator drugs which will eventually help in decreasing ESR also.
There is no direct way of decreasing ESR. treating the diease will treat the ESR.
I hope this helps
wish you all the best
