I have had raised esr for over a year and it is now it it s highest at 62. I have an under active thyroid and i am on vit d tablets. I have pains in my right shoulder and side and ankle. All in my right side. I have had bloods taken ..scans dones and all the results are negative. Which is good but the esr level has no explanation. Can fibroids cause this?

Hello
Many thanks for contacting HealthcareMagic
Based on your description of your complaints the increased ESR may be due to many factors. It’s high in some chronic inflammatory and non inflammatory conditions . It’s also high in some older individuals
As you have already got your blood tests done ✅ and all seem to be normal them there is nothing to worry . It may also me marginally raised in thyroid disorders and uterine conditions like fibroid . Sometimes even in chronic VIT D deficiency it may be high . I would suggest you to continue the vitamin and thyroid supplementation and follow it up with your doctor . I would recommend you to keep your thyroid levels normal .
Hope I have answered your queries
Wish you a speedy recovery
