Does anyone know if PN can raise your C-reactive protein levels? John's is elevated and his doc said that there's inflammation going on somewhere and he thinks it's most likely do to some infection. The only outward signs of inflammation we can see are his PN and his knee. He had surgery a year ago to re-attach his quad tendon and the knee feels hotter than his other (good) knee.

So does anyone know:
1) Will PN elevate your C-reactive protein?
2) Does the continued warmth on the injured knee mean there's problem there and also impact your CRP levels?

BTW....his vitamin C levels are low and he does have iron overload that we've been working on for the past five years now.

Any insights will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Marlene
