Can i be tested for arthritis if knuckles are sore?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: Only certain types of arthritis have associated blood tests. The first thing to do is be seen by your doctor to examine your hands and determine if there is arthritis or not. A blood test is only something that is done if there is a suspicion of certain types of arthritis.
