Elevated ESR is a lab investigation which reflects the underlying active chronic inflammatory conditions like arthritis, chronic infections like tuberculosis, etc. etc. One the main problem in your case like infection in pelvic region or back of shoulder is properly diagnosed and treated the ESR level will return to its normal level. It is not a diagnostic test.
