No: That is an elevated crp. You should get evaluated for an arthritic condition or some other inflammatory condition.

No it is high : It is high and it can be high due to inflammation in any part of body.There is a more sensitive CRP test called high sensitivity c reactive protein(hs -c reactive)assay which determines the persons high risk for heart disease.Discuss with your doctor which test was ordered for you.You are 78 years old and if it is high sensitivity test you should be on Aspirin and/or statins.But we can not recomme.
