Hi thanks for your query and welcome to lybrate. I am Dr. Akshay from fortis hospital, new delhi. You have mentioned back pain since a long time and also mentioned a very high esr value which makes it imperative for us to rule out an inflammatory or an infective pathology. Please tell me whether you feel stiffness when you get up in morning? apart from spine, do you also feel that your hips are getting involved? also have you got yourself ever tested for hla b 27, ra factor, anti ccp antibodies, crp, serum uric acid etc? do not hesitate to contact me if you need any further assistance. You can also discuss your case and treatment plans with me in a greater detail in a private consultation.
