Dear Friend. Welcome to Chat Doctor. I am Chat Doctor. I have read your query in detail. Furthermore, I understand your concern. Raised ESR is a marker of inflammation. This can occur even in infection. If you have persistent Neck pain and other joint pain, I would advise you following as this high ESR requires evaluation
