For the past one and a half years, I have experienced joint pain and swelling near my wrists. Earlier blood tests confirmed that I was RA positive, and I underwent treatment for arthritis. Recently, after consulting an orthopaedic specialist, my new blood report shows that RA is now negative, but my ASO titre is elevated at 782. Is this condition curable?
