Rheumatoid arthritis runs in family and I had symptoms. Got a blood test that came back normal. The pain is spreading. Got the blood test when I wasn't having a flare up, so could it still be arthritis or could it be something else?
I am 33 and suspect I might have RA (rheumatoid arthritis) however I don't have a flare up currently and am not on any medication. Would you recommend any preventative supplements or medication for me if I have RA but do not show any symptoms yet?
