My RA factor test report is positive. I have been experiencing joint pain in my fingers for the last two days. Six months ago, I visited a specialist at NH Hospital, who said there were no symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis.

RA factor positive with symptoms now suggests early rheumatoid arthritis. Needs antiCCP test to confirm.
Dr. Hema Suggests...
Take a Anti CCP Test (Cyclic Citrullinated Peptide) Test or Take a RA Factor Test (Rheumatoid Factor) Test

Respected Doctors, my mom is already taking medicines for sugar and blood pressure. For the last few months she has been having shoulder and joint pain. My dad and mom went to an orthopedic doctor and got medicines for the problem. I will attach the prescription and all other details including her blood test report.

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.
