Hello,
Thank you for your query at DoctorSpring.com
I understand your concern.
You need to elaborate on your symptoms before I can comment on these results. Both ESR and CRP and inflammatory markers, and non-specific.
Your ASO is also raised, which indicates a streptococcal infection. So, once your tell me about your symptoms, I will get back to you.
Regards.

Is it always cold or gets cold on exposure to extreme temperature?
What are your other symptoms?
You also need to get a CBC test done.

Diabetic Neuropathy can have similar symptoms.
I can comment based on your recent CBC, FBS, PPBS, and HBA1c reports.
ASO titre is suggestive of a streptococcal infection recently.
Any difficulty in urination/ fever/ rash/ or viral symptoms?
Kindly get the tests done and share the reports with me,
Regards.
