I have had joint pain in all joints for the past 2 years. All my blood tests are normal, and the painkillers did not work. No doctor has been able to help me with this. I do not have rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, high uric acid, or any issues in hemoglobin or urine tests.

If you have had joint pain for 2 years and all standard blood tests (RA, uric acid, HB, urine) are normal, it may be a case of seronegative arthritis, fibromyalgia, or a chronic autoimmune condition. These dont always show up in basic tests. Painkillers wont work until the real cause is found. You should consult a rheumatologist, who may order Anti CCP, ANA, CRP, Vitamin D, and HLA B27 to rule out deeper causes.

I suffered from viral fever one month ago. After 2 to 3 days I got red rashes all over my body. Dengue and Chikungunya tests were negative. Now, since one month I am suffering from acute joint pain. My blood report for ANA is strongly positive. Please suggest?

I have pain in my body from neck to hip joints and shoulders after sitting a few minutes, and sometimes I also get headaches. I underwent treatment and my blood report shows abnormal results: total WBC count is 12,700 cells per cumm, ESR is 52 mm per h, and RA factor is 4.8 IU per ml. My doctor prescribed medicine without explaining the report. Can anyone please explain my report? Is there anything serious in my blood report? Are these symptoms of cancer? Please answer and suggest what is better for me.
