Knee pain
Dear Doc, for past 2 years I have knee problem, last year I consulted doc, he prescribed a pain killer and asked me to do some exercises, I was not satisfied and used for 3 days and I stopped taking pain killer. I still feel abnormal, can't able to stand for more time. So day before yesterday I have consulted an ortho Doctor and he said at the age of 26 you should not have such knee pains and I got blood test done , RA factor and Vitamin d3 showed abnormal values. I have started medication 3days ago as per my ortho. What step shall I take next. Only medicines and exercise or shall I get some any other bone scans or any other tests to be done ?
Kindly suggest

Clinical examination is very important. RA test being positive doesn't mean you have RA. It is rare in males. MRI may aid in diagnosis. Treatment for RA means taking medication for many months. Clinical improvement will come after weeks of treatment. If in doubt get a second opinion.
