Hi,

Yeah, that seems quite high. Any inflammation will cause elevated ESR but the rheumatic diseases such as RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS are often the highest. Infection anywhere can cause inflammation and joint pain but would generally also have signs of infection. We do not diagnose individuals since we are not there to examine them BUT we can give general information. Infection and rheumatic diseases give higher ESR's. wear and tear or just aches do not elevate ESR.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
