I have been suffering from rheumatoid arthritis for the past year. Today, I developed a fever, and my doctor advised me to get a full CBC test. Could you please help me understand what is included in a CBC report and what the different values indicate about my health?

Likely meant CBC (Complete Blood Count). Fever in RA could indicate infection or disease flare up. CBC can show WBC levels and signs of inflammation. Consult your rheumatologist based on the report.

In my blood report, RA factor is 42 and I have knee pains. Whom should I contact and how should I proceed?

Respected Doctors, my mom is already taking medicines for sugar and blood pressure. For the last few months she has been having shoulder and joint pain. My dad and mom went to an orthopedic doctor and got medicines for the problem. I will attach the prescription and all other details including her blood test report. Please verify the prescription and reply whether she can take this many medicines for joint pain? In the first course she had four different medicines daily. From today she is taking five medicines for the next fifteen days. Thanks in advance. Awaiting your reply. Patient Name: R. Vanaja. Note: This is not to cross check the medicines given by the doctor or his ability. I just want to know whether my mom is taking excessive medications?
