All maximum possible tests of arthritis are done at rhumetologists, RA CCP,ANA ENA TTG CPK MRI BONE SCAN, hlab27
In the last 5 years, ESR CRP never raised, but feels swelling, but actual swelling is not present,
When my gut cleared my pain relieved, what it could and how it could be diagnosed, whenever I visit rhumetologists he always prescribed new test
Now prescribed ANCA test, PET SCAN
But last year , several times KFT LFT CBC , carried out results came normal,

The most important clue here is that your pain improves when your gut is cleared â this strongly points to an enteropathic or gut-related cause for your foot pain rather than a primary joint disease. With 5 years of consistently normal ESR, CRP, and all major autoimmune tests, a classic inflammatory arthritis is very unlikely. The gut-joint connection in your case is what needs to be investigated properly.
Next Steps
A gut-focused evaluation â stool calprotectin, gut microbiome assessment, and possibly a colonoscopy â would be far more useful at this stage than a PET scan. Feel free to consult me directly on Practo for a detailed evaluation, as this pattern needs a specific targeted approach.

Hi!
Pain in feet and fingers with normal arthritis tests and relief after gut clearance is due to gut related or functional causes. 😊
Further targeted evaluation can help clarify.
Feel free to consult for a coordinated review. 👍
