I suffered from viral fever one month ago. After 2 to 3 days I got red rashes all over my body. Dengue and Chikungunya tests were negative. Now, since one month I am suffering from acute joint pain. My blood report for ANA is strongly positive. Please suggest?

A strongly positive ANA and ongoing joint pain may suggest autoimmune involvement like lupus or another connective tissue disorder. Consult a rheumatologist for accurate diagnosis.

Take a ANTI NUCLEAR ANTIBODY (ANA) Test or Take a Anti Ds DNA test Test

I have had joint pain in all joints for the past 2 years. All my blood tests are normal, and the painkillers did not work. No doctor has been able to help me with this. I do not have rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, high uric acid, or any issues in hemoglobin or urine tests.

I am having pain in my hand and leg. I also feel pain in my shoulders, hand, wrist, fingers, knee, toes, and forefeet. What problem am I having? Which doctor should I consult? What other tests are required? My blood report shows vitamin D 19.72, vitamin B12 183, ESR 52, CRP 17.6, and CPK 500.1.
