ESR 40 suggests active inflammation, which is expected in RA. Eosinophils at 7 percent are mildly high, which could be an allergy. Continue your RA medications and consult your rheumatologist. Do the required CRP and repeat CBC as needed.

Dr. Kamran Suggests...

Take a CRP Test (C - Reactive Protein) Test or Take a CBC Test (Complete Blood Count) Test

Question

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

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

Hi. My mother has been suffering from Rheumatoid Arthritis. We have been visiting a nearby doctor every month, but the condition seems to be the same. We are taking ESR and CRP tests in her blood report every month. According to the doctor, this will take time to improve, but it has been almost eight months, and we have not seen any improvement. Kindly help or suggest on this? Thanks in advance.
