Hi oh flip, you're really having a bad time of this honey.
Yes sounds right, they'll do CRP & ESR and probably a bone profile. All of them will basically show if you have any inflammation, as theyre used as markers etc and give you a diagnosis of arthritis or not. So it's a good thing to do .
Results take 3-5 days so let me know how you get on. Oh just a note, tomatoes and citrus fruits can make the pain worse if its arthritic pain. So try avoiding grapefruit and oranges for now. Lets see what results are then I can give you a recommendation what to take xxxx
