Ra factor 16 and ccp negative

2022-10-08 18:26:16
Hello, Sir or Madam.  I have a little weakness in my hands and weak legs. I feel numbness in my hands in the morning. I get tingling cramps if I sleep on my hands, and if I sit for a long time. So I approached a neurologist. He suggested a few tests, one of which is the ra factor.  I did the ra factor test first (immudrby method) and in that report the normal range was 0-14. I got 16. So I got doubts and went to another lab. Now they did the latex aggulation method and said negative. Now I am completely confused again. I went to the doctor. Now he suggested an anti-CCP test. It also shows a negative. I also did crp and esr, and both didn't have any inflammation. I don't have any pain but weakness and numbness if I put pressure on it. After googling, I came to know there are many other tests if ra is positive and ccp is negative. I'm doing well and do not have any complaints about Ra. Kindly advise

It doesn't look like ra with your history.. But You need to consult a rheumatologist for answer
