Dr. Ziad Tannous Orthopedic Surgery
any disease a person might be suffering from can increase the ESR , ( not only rhumatologic disorders ! ) , with the afore mentioned negative results , i tend to agree with your physician ... but nevertheless the reason for the elevated ESR still needs to be elucidated, whether its with a rhumatologist or with an internist
