Distal Joint pain and swelling
My mother have been suffering from severe distal joint pain and swelling for the last 5 days specially wrist joint, ankle joint,knee joint and it is bilaterally symmetrical. She had this pain for the last 3 months.Pain aggrevates after doing some physical work or long walking. Everything was fine because the pain had subsided and again reccured after few days. Untill 4 days back she was having fever and the joints were swollen. NS1 , Uric acid, RA factor tests were done and all of them were negetive. Now there is no fever but the pain and swollen joints are still there.

What is her WBC count, ESR and Crp values.
