Hi i am Dr Ahmed Aly
thanks for using healthcaremagic site ,
I had gone through your question and understand your concerns ..

IN my opinion that is a kink of gouty arithritis which is diagnosed properly by SUA ( serum uric acid )or RA rheamatoid arithritis or SLE etc an underlying systemic disease that circulates in your blood stream so i recommend more lab investigations more than ESR which only shows sedimentation rate of blood and coagulation and not related to your condition it only shows that there is a kind of infection which is not that specific normal values are Women under 50 years old:
