SAulds....

The Sed Rate doesn't necessarily mean infection. It is my understanding that it means some sort of inflammatory process going on. You can have inflammation and not have an infection. My Sed Rate every now and again is elevated, but it has never been too much of a concern for my Docs.

It is best to talk to your Dr. and see what s/he thinks of the elevated sed rate. Could be for you it is transient, and will go away on it's own.

Good luck. Hope this helps.

I'm not a Dr. or any type of Medical Professional. The information I share is based on what I have experienced personally or what I have learned.
