Arthritis or more?

2018-04-12 12:41:33
Had tests done: Rheumatiod factor <14 IU/ml Ana Screen Positive Anti-nuclear AB Titer - 1:160 TITER Ana Pattern - Nucleolar The explanation on the Ana pattern says the pattern is associated with systemic sclerosis, systemic sclerosis/polymyositis overlap and Sjogren's syndrome. In short, is it just osteoarthritis or something more?

This is probably Rheumatoid arthritis..which is a auto immune type of arthritis. It is not osteoarthritis. Rheumatoid arthritis affects small joints of hand and foot along with joints like elbow, wrist etc. Known for swelling, inflammation and deformities at later stages . Treatment is conservative with medications ranging from simple medications to biologics.
