Raised RA levels with long term joint pain may indicate active rheumatoid arthritis. A rheumatologist can guide proper treatment to control pain and slow joint damage. Early treatment gives better long term results. Avoid only relying on painkillers. Your doctor may suggest tests like RA Factor, Anti CCP, ESR, CRP, X ray of affected joints. Please consult your doctor.
Dr. Siri Suggests...
Take a RA Factor Test (Rheumatoid Factor) Test or Take a Anti CCP Test (Cyclic Citrullinated Peptide) Test
