Question 1

Hi. My mother has been suffering from Rheumatoid Arthritis. We have been visiting a nearby doctor every month, but the condition seems to be the same. We are taking ESR and CRP tests in her blood report every month. According to the doctor, this will take time to improve, but it has been almost eight months, and we have not seen any improvement. Kindly help or suggest on this? Thanks in advance.

Question 2

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 3

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?

I am having pain in both knee joints, so I got my blood tests done for CRP, CPK, Aldolase, and ESR. The results are: ESR is 43, CPK is 80 U/L, Aldolase is 4.40 U/L, CRP is 14.80 mg/L. What do these results indicate about my knee pain?

High ESR and CRP suggest inflammation. Low CPK, normal aldolase point to joint related inflammation. Could be arthritis or viral cause. See rheumatologist.
