Hello, Thnx to contact us. If I am your treating doctor I advice you that your mother is free from arthritis and gout and had high ESR. ESR is non specific marker of the inflammation. So it raises in a variety of conditions. Which type of inflammation you have is we have to diagnose. I also want to know what age you have, your sex and further examination to establish the diagnosis ? I can only say that ESR is raised here from the history that you have mentioned. If you have anything else to ask, kindly contact me Dr. Arun Tank.
