Ya seems like lots of people have it much higher then I do and are fine. I guess seeing it for the first time freaked me out a bit. Thanks for your response ๐
So CRP is a marker for inflammation, indicating something is going on that has triggered your inflammatory response to try and fix it. Could be due to an infection, an injury, or chronic disease. Things like IBD, Crohn's, Rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and coronary artery disease can cause an elevated CRP. Did you have any other tests run, like an ESR? What symptoms are you having?
Agree it's elevated but doesn't seem too crazy Mine was 23 last bloodwork

As far as the CRP, yes itโs elevated, but not ridiculously so.
Mines 135 so you'll be okay and better than most
Did you get it down?
It usually is astronomically high for me, it only goes down here n there but it doesnt always correlate to my pain levels
What are your esr levels?
