Rheumatoid Arthritis
My dad recently taken RA factor test which indicates 480. His fingers and hands are swollen and is barely able to walk properly. His condition deteriorate every day. Recently, he developed a swelling near his elbow though there's no pain associated with it but the swelling never got reduced. It looks like a lump (round shaped)
this is typical fulminant rheumatoid arthritis. Needs urgent intervention and consultation with a rheumatologist. Would need to start with synthetic and biological Disease modifying medications and other immuno-modulator drugs for control of pathology.
This is probably not the right platform for an open ended advise regarding such a disease as it would require life long follow ups even after the disease goes into remission phase.
