Question 1

For the past 10 days, I have been experiencing severe pain in both my knee joints and feet. The pain worsens when I rest, but slightly improves while walking. Today, I did some tests, CRP is 4, Blood Sugar is 151 (1 hour after lunch), ESR is 10, TSH is 4.5 (slightly elevated), RA Factor is 7.2, and I am still waiting for the Anti CCP test results. Please advise how I can reduce this pain.

Question 2

I have spondylosis and total body joint pain, including left leg muscle pain, hands, legs, feet, hips, ribs, and overall bone pain. One month ago I had dengue fever. Are these symptoms related to dengue? My fever is completely gone and my platelets and blood report are now normal. Please suggest which doctor I should consult now a spine surgeon or another specialist?

Question 3

I got a full body checkup and need an opinion on the rheumatoid factor normal range value. My report mentioned: Rheumatoid Factor Quantitative less than 20.0 IU/mL, less than 30 Normal, 30 to 50 Weakly positive, greater than 50 Reactive. Is this normal? Some sites say that up to 14 IU/mL is normal and more than 14 is high. Please advise.

I am 18 years old. Suddenly, my leg got swollen, and my joints started hurting. Now my wrists and shoulders also ache, especially in the morning. I consulted a doctor and did blood tests, but everything came back normal. Why am I experiencing joint pain, and what should I do?

Could be early arthritis, post viral, or autoimmune issue. Repeat RA Factor, CRP, and Vitamin D. Use mild pain relievers and apply warm compress.
