ESR of 39 is mild to moderately high, i.e. abnormal, and this is likely due to chronic inflammation in your case. However, we do not use ESR alone as a criteria for amputation in chronic osteomyelitis.

If your doc does not respond and you have a bone infection then see another ASAP-let her/him decide what needs to be done about the esr. Hope you do well.
