Uncertain: The ESR is a nonspecific test. Elevations are a sign of inflammation, but don't say what is causing it. Normal values depend on the lab that does the test. The test is used in conjunction with other lab work and when compared with your symptoms can give your doc additional insight into what is going on. It is most useful when it is very high, which is not the case here. http://tinyurl.com/nxo8s6y
