  • Welcome to the forum Unknown86 although I'm sorry to hear about the lump on your neck and that your blood test results showed your ESR is abnormal.

    I hope this information I've found on the NHS website will help put your mind at ease about your results, but if you'd like to discuss this further with one of our nurses, you can contact them on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. They're very insightful and will do all they can to help.

    Hopefully some of our members who have been in a similar situation will share their experiences with you soon as well but in the meantime, we're thinking of you Unknown86 and will have our fingers crossed everything will be o.k.

    Kind regards,
