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

Dear Doctor, A patient aged 70 has been experiencing continuous pain and swelling in the upper right foot and toes for the past month. There is no history of diabetes or high blood pressure. Recent investigations show: Blood report: normal, X-ray: normal, Vitamin D: normal, Uric acid: normal and NCV (both lower limbs): normal. The pain temporarily subsides with painkillers but returns after a few hours. Could you please advise what further tests or evaluations are recommended and how we can diagnose the cause? Thank you.

Question 3

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?

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

Raised RA factor with joint pain may indicate early rheumatoid arthritis. You should consult a rheumatologist for further evaluation and possible treatment to prevent joint damage.
