Hi, I am 21 Years old Male. Few days back suddenly over the night I experienced pain near the right knee and some part of my lower leg bone feeled swell. Also my feet and heels hurt when I walked. SO I saw a doctor and he gave me some blood test and Xray with some medicines. In the blood test I saw a ESR value 60mm. Can anyone tell me what is the reason of such high ESR value and how to lower it. (The doctor is off for vacation for some days.I dont hv the pain now.I am posipositive for uric acid test 8.2. Also i take ALCOVET M for my allergy.) Thanx in advance.
ESR is simply rate at which RBC's fall in special tube. There are n number of causes for raised ESR, most common being anemia, fever, and inflammation. In your case, raised uric acid levels and joint pains are responsible for your raised ESR. Please get your joint pains treated. Your ESR levels would decrease automatically.
