The high ESR are indicative of present inflammation. Coming to this point, I would recommend performing a shoulder X-ray study. A steroid injection in his shoulder may  be needed. You should discuss with his doctor on the above issues.Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Regards, Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
