Hi,I am Dr. Robert Galamaga (Hematologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hello and welcome to HCM, Elevated ESR is not associated with use of hands and shoulders while chipping ice. ESR is elevated due to chronic inflammation in body like tuberculosis, rheumatoid arthritis, rheumatic heart disease, multiple myeloma, polycythemia etc. ESR does not indicate any disease but it is an indication of an underlying disease process. As the underlying disease improves, ESR starts improving.
