Dear sir I can understand your concern.
This test ESR is a very vague test and do not have much of diagnostic value. in some patients with every thing normal,they will have elevated ESR
usually ESR will he elevated in many kinds of infections and auto immune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis.
the feeling of heavy foot and numbness with be due to diabetic neuropathy due to Long term diabetes.
I suggest you to do complete blood counts to rule out any infections
