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.

RA factor mildly raised, along with joint pain, needs anti CCP to confirm early rheumatoid arthritis. Pain worse at rest, better with movement, supports inflammatory arthritis. Use NSAIDs till diagnosis.

Dr. Hema Suggests...

Take a Anti CCP Test (Cyclic Citrullinated Peptide) Test or Take a RA Factor Test (Rheumatoid Factor) Test

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?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I got a full body checkup and need an opinion on the rheumatoid factor normal range value. My report mentioned: Rheumatoid Factor Quantitative less than 20.0 IU/mL, less than 30 Normal, 30 to 50 Weakly positive, greater than 50 Reactive. Is this normal? Some sites say that up to 14 IU/mL is normal and more than 14 is high. Please advise.
