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

I have been suffering from joint pain throughout my body. My recent test reports show that my calcium, vitamin D, sugar, and thyroid levels are normal. However, my RA factor was greater than 120 in march and remains high as of july. My uric acid level is 6.50, and my RBC count is 4.99. Despite taking Ayurvedic treatments and regularly using Turmod, Rosiflex, and Artilon, my RA factor has not improved. I am concerned about the reason for this and would like to know what should be done next.

Question 3

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.

Rheumatoid arthritis can be chronic and often progresses slowly. If there is no improvement despite regular treatment, reassessment of medications like DMARDs or biologics is needed. Consider rheumatologist consultation.
