My wife has pain in her wrists, hands, finger joints, and shoulders. She is 33 years old. Her recent test results are: RA factor positive, CRP positive, ESR 14 mm/hr (normal range 0 to 20), vitamin D, uric acid, calcium, and other tests are normal. She has not done Anti CCP antibody test yet. What are the next steps? We are worried because her RA factor is positive.

Positive RA and CRP suggest early rheumatoid arthritis. Normal ESR and vitamin D help, but confirmation needs Anti CCP antibody test for specific diagnosis. Early treatment is essential. Please take the Anti CCP Antibody Test.

Dr. Shaik Suggests...

Take a Anti CCP Test (Cyclic Citrullinated Peptide) Test

My RA factor test report is positive. I have been experiencing joint pain in my fingers for the last two days. Six months ago, I visited a specialist at NH Hospital, who said there were no symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis.

I am experiencing pain in my left hand, wrist, and fingers, with difficulty moving my fingers. There is slight pain in my right hand and in the middle three toes of my left foot, along with left knee pain that causes a grinding sound during movement and difficulty climbing stairs. I also feel a burning sensation in my feet and neck pain when turning left or right. My blood tests for rheumatoid arthritis and gout came back negative. I do not drink alcohol or smoke, and I am slightly overweight. Despite this, some doctors are suggesting it might be rheumatoid arthritis, but I am confused given my test results. I would like guidance on what could be causing these symptoms and what steps I should take next.
