Sorry to hear about your pain. What did your doctor tell you that meant? You can do a search online to find out what the CRP numbers indicate. I do know that there is a more sensitive test that can be run, depending on what s/he is looking for. The test is an hs-CRP. Let us know when you get more information.

Normal crp levels should be below 10 crp high levels indicates inflammation or infection somewhere in your body if thats not your normal levels it needs more investigating! my husband being on dialysis runs at about 15 to 20 when he had a chest infection it went to about 350 & needed hospitalizing when about 70 he had urine infection! hope this helps
