Joint Pain and elevated RDW and ESR

by sageje05, Apr 03, 2007 12:00AM
I have been having joint pain in my hips, knees, shoulders, and elbows for a few weeks. Had blood work done everything withing range except for Elevated RDW what could this mean and ESR...  referred to Rheumatologist. Could joint pain be a sign of leukemia? Wouldn't it show up on blood work? Should I be concerned of elevated RDW???  What can cause joint pain?  Can being slightly overweight be a factor.  I'm only 32 isn't that a bit too young for arthritis?  Need your advice!?!
