Hi, dear.
I have gone through your question.
I can understand your concern.
Your esr count is really very high.
There are many causes of high esr count. They are tuberculosi, anemia, autoimmune disease, connective tissue diseas, malignancy, paraprotienemia etc. You have joint pain so may be chances of having some arthritis or autoimmune disease,.
You should investigate for that and then take treatment accordingly.
