What Can Cause Vascular Pain While Suffering From Elevated Sedimentation Rate?
I am anemic and have a high blood sed rate. They have been controlling my iron via infusions and I m taking 50,000 Vitamin D once a week. Have been going in to the two different drs. since last Nov. Still having problems. I ve been checking on the internet and one thing I seem to have symptons of is temporal arteritis. I also have a compromised immune system with Crohn s. I ve had a colonoscopy which was okay, but when I had Crohn s the tests were all low, but nothing showed up until they did an exploratory surgery and I had major problems. Now my blood vessels hurt. I have bulging like temporal arteritis and I am trying to find out what could be wrong.

What Can Cause Vascular Pain While Suffering From Elevated Sedimentation Rate?
Hi, You have temporal arteritis and this is the reason for high ESR. You have Crohn s disease. You should see a rheumatologist for evaluation. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Varinder Joshi, General & Family Physician
