CRP is an inflammation marker but it's non-specific, it can't tell you where the inflammation is, just that it's there. If it keeps increasing your GP should be looking for the cause of the inflammation. Do you know of any inflammation (inflammatory disease?) infection (viral, bacterial?), injury? Can also be raised where chronic disease is present.

If you want comment on your thyroid results, you'll need to add the reference ranges, what thyroid meds you take, last dose before test, how you feel, etc.

Your TSH and FT4 are good, but your FT3 is very low in range, you don't seem to be converting T4 to T3 very well.

This can be due to low nutrient levels, so it would be a good idea to check

Vit D

B12

Folate

Ferritin

If all of these are optimal then maybe adding T3 to your Levo would be beneficial.
