Hello,
The ESR is a non-specific measure of the total amount of inflammation in the body. It can be caused by almost anything and stays elevated for awhile.
The best way to decrease it would be by treating the underlying cause, in your case RA. There are many drugs to treat RA, I would ask your doctor about them.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
