Would you help please with the diagnosis ?

A high ESR associated with back and joint pain can be the result of arthritis of immunological reason (lupus, rheumatoid arthritis) and sometimes, tuberculosis. It is difficult to come to a diagnosis just from the ESR alone. I would suggest you to visit a rheumatologist.
