Chronic pain and inflammation

Question

Asked for Female, 43 Years

I have been having chronic pain for a while now. I went to the doctor today because I had chest pains and body pain. I was tested for Rheumatoid Arthritis. The Rheumatoid Factor test result seemed to be normal. It was <10 with a range of 1-15. However, the ESR was elevated. It was 56 with range 1-20. And the CRP I believe was elevated too. It was 3.1 with range <.30. I am trying to understand the test results and see if I should be worried.
