Joint pain
I’ve been experiencing severe pain and swelling in my fingers, wrists, and shoulders for the past few weeks, and I’m also unable to raise my hands above my head. I consulted my doctor and underwent some tests, which showed the following results:
CBC: Normal
Total Calcium: 8.77 mg/dl
Vitamin D: 5.9 ng/ml
HLA B27: Negative
C-reactive protein: 36.82 mg/l
RA Quantitative: 30.33 IU/ml
Uric Acid: 4.03 mg/dl
The doctor diagnosed me with arthritis and prescribed medication, but I’m still in a lot of pain. Could someone please advise me on what else I should do or any pain relief and swelling medicine that might help?
