Hello, I went for a CBC test, and my ESR is slightly increased. The normal range is 20, and mine is 22. Is this a matter of concern? I am attaching my report. Please check and advise.

ESR of 22 is only mildly raised and may reflect minor inflammation or past infection. If CBC and other parameters are normal and you have no symptoms, its not worrisome. No treatment needed.

There is pain in my body, joint pain, and severe weakness. The weakness is more after sleeping. My ESR is raised, but all other tests are normal. My urine report is abnormal. All other tests like RA, anti CCP, vitamin D, vitamin B12, sugar, and thyroid are normal except ESR and urine.
