Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Your pelvic pain could be because of abortion. USG pelvis scan is advisable to check complete abortion process. USG will also rule out any other organic cause if present. ESR elevation could be from inflammation induced by abortion process. Repeat ESR after week. I suggest you to consult gynecologist for examination.

Hope I have solved your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
