A member asked:
I cracked my tibia and had some swelling on the outside of my leg can this be the cause of increased esr or is inflammation something different?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes. Or some other chronic inflammatory response. ESR is very non specific. Discuss with your Drs who know you.
