If you have unexplained body aches at your age of 40yrs:
Worth getting- Vitamin D levels checked and if low, take Vitamin D supplement
If along with body aches, if your fingers/wrists/elbows become swollen and or painful- get further blood tests ( for- Rheumatoid factor, ANA, CRP, anti-CCP, Immunoglobulins) and see a Rheumatologist.
All the best.

Detailed history is required. ESR alone is very non specific. Can increase in so many conditions and even with wrong lab techniques. So ESR with suspicion of some disease is of value only
