Rhuematoid arthritis
In my blood report, RA factor is below 8, which doctor said is normal. But I am having symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis, like shoulder, hip, knee pain on both sides. And my fingers and toes also having light pain. When I try to stretch my arms and legs, it gives cracking sounds from joints. These symptoms started 2 months ago. And I am feeling very week, tiredness and not focused on work. And in my CRP report it is 12 ( normal is 6). Is this causing these symptoms. Or will CRP increase RA factor in future. Is RA factor is not showing up, because of it is only 2 months, i am having this.
