I have been suffering from rheumatoid arthritis for the past year. Today, I developed a fever, and my doctor advised me to get a full CBC test. Could you please help me understand what is included in a CBC report and what the different values indicate about my health?

Likely meant CBC (Complete Blood Count). Fever in RA could indicate infection or disease flare up. CBC can show WBC levels and signs of inflammation. Consult your rheumatologist based on the report.

I have attached my RF Turbidimetry test report. I am 22 years old and weigh 103 kg. Is this normal? If not, what should I do? Is this reversible?

In my blood report, RA factor is 42 and I have knee pains. Whom should I contact and how should I proceed?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

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.
