What Causes Elevated ESR Levels?
My question is I had a high ESR 110, waiting for results of CRP and had shingles 6 months ago. Also had thryroid surgery in 2012 which left 40% of thyroid intact and never have taken thyroid medication. Feeling some joint pain now and still pain in the spot where the shingles orginated.
