Need clarification

Hello I already have Osteoarthritis in both knees since last 9 months. Since last 1 week, my fingers (3 middle fingers) on each hand have been paining and feel stiff throughout the day and night. My doc recommended blood work. Results of esr, crp, ra factor, anti ccp, and anti ds DNA are within the normal range. However in cbc, my hemoglobin is 11.7. Vitamin d is 27. Ana test came out to be weak positive 1:100. Pattern is speckled and cyctoplasmic speckled. Should I be checking with rheumatologist? My doc prescribed zyramod for 10 days morning and night. Should I be worried ?

Gout flare up

During Bakrid, I ate meat for several consecutive days and developed knee pain and stiffness. A local doctor suspected gout and prescribed painkillers and joint supplements. My uric acid level test was done and it was 6.8 mg/dL, and had right leg knee xray as well, and the pain resolved after 7 days of treatment. About a month later, I've developed knee pain again for the past two days, making it difficult to walk. After taking  painkillers, the pain improved, but I now have mild pain in one of my toe joints. Could this still be gout, and what should I do next?
