sed rate

[jagross]

My sed rate is 120, bilateral joint pains of almost all joints.  I also have hypothyroidism and IBS.  My feet also burn.  Possible carpal tunnel. Currently, undiagnosed.  Seeking thoughts are suggestions

Normal values for women are 0-20 mm/hr, or 0-30 mm/hr for women older than 50.
For males, 0-15mm/hr, or 0-20 mm/hr for men over 50.

In any case, yours seems significantly above range, indicating underlying infection or inflammation , possibly caused by RA, Lupus, other A/I or infectious conditions, cancer and other.
Very suspect is RA and under-regulated Hypothyroidism (could be type 2 which can only be detected with Free T3, Free T4 and reverse T3 tests)
This would explain all of your symptoms, including IBS (which actually may be leaky gut syndrome). Hypothyroidism also affects greatly the digestive and G/I systems.

You should get these  investigated further and ruled out.

I hope this helps, however, my comments are not intended as a replacement for medical advice.

Best wishes,
Niko

Since you do not give your age or gender it is really hard to help you. You should have a RH factor blood tests. If you gave us more information about these pains, like which joints exactly are effected, for how long, what makes it better what makes it worse, you know, simple stuff like that is how doctors make a diagnosis.
