Sorry my bloods was slightly raised but doc said it's normal for a 50 yr old woman
That is an old-fashioned attitude. It is now acknowledged that the reason many older patients have higher ESR and CRP is because there is inflammation present - so anything above an ESR of 20 is raised, whatever your age, same for CRP and its normal range.
