blood test

anyone have blood test for CRP (c-reactive protein) and ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate)? What were the results? Thanks.

My levels have always been normal. I believe an elevated ESR indicates excessive inflammation.

I had those both awhile back and the results were normal.It didnt help with the TOS. anti-inflamatories dont really help me either.

it does mean inflammation and its linked to cardiovascular disease

There is a possibility that this could be used as a simple urine test to confirm TOS.

Interesting, but not sure how this relates to TOS. I don't think it does.
