Hi Raghu Naik,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. Increased ESR indicates ongoing inflammation.
2. Anemia can also cause increased ESR. At present you are having osteoarthritis of knee joints, which is causing high ESR.
3. You need to meet your orthopedician to control inflammation through anti-inflammatory agents and corticosteroids. Once inflammation is reduced, ESR will become normal. Also check for hemoglobin. level.
4. More than ESR, C-reactive protein - more accurately signifies inflammation. Get your CRP level checked.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
