Hello,
A high ESR usually can be related to polymyalgia rheumatica. I also suggest doing a rheumatoid factor level for further evaluation. Meanwhile, I suggest taking painkillers such as Ibuprofen three times a day to relieve the pain.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
