A member asked:
Rheumatoid factor just out of range at 20.2. normal esr, ana. bilateral hip pain, chest, and roaming pains in other joints, never swelling. is it ra?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely : Rheumatoid arthritis is diagnosed based on a number of criteria. Each criteria has a point value. You must have 6 points to be diagnosed. What you described would be 2 points. This isn't enough for rheumatoid arthritis (ra). You should still see a doctor familiar with RA to be sure. The most important part if the diagnosis is the feel of the joints not the lab.
