ANA positivity indicates autoimmune disorder, not arthritis. However, ANA can be falsely positive in upto 20% normal population. Rather than focussing on the reports, a detailed history and examination are much more important for diagnosis of arthritis and autoimmune disorders. You should consult a Rheumatologist (arthritis and autoimmune disorder specialist) for correct diagnosis and management
