Chronic musculoskeletal pain with negative RA may suggest seronegative arthritis or fibromyalgia. ESR elevation supports inflammation. Please take Anti-CCP, HLA-B27 and Vitamin D tests to confirm.

Dr. Vasanthasree Suggests...

Take a Anti CCP Test (Cyclic Citrullinated Peptide) Test or Take a HLA B27 Test Test

Book Anti CCP Test (Cyclic Citrullinated Peptide) Test Book HLA B27 Test Test

Hi, I have been suffering from major back pain for the last one year. I have visited many doctors, but there has been no improvement. I have had X ray, thyroid test, and PCOS test, and all results are normal. Can you please suggest something?
