A member asked:

Knee pain pos ana high esr but normal x-ray so what could be wrong and what should be next step? i am overweight could this be from that?

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

See details: The knee pain is likely unrelated to the ana. Being overweight could certainly play a role. There are several possible causes for knee pain so i would urge that you have the issue evaluated.

No: High ESR may suggest anemia, inflammation, cancer or infection.
