Bloodwork came back normal for rheumatoid factors. experiencing joint pain in knees, ankles, achilles, and arm. what should be my next step?

CRP!: The CRP test will tell you have inflammation! you nay need to see a specialist in rheumatology! patients with a negative rf, should have a ccp antibody run. I suspect you have spondyloarthritis, not rheumatoid arthritis. A form of spondylitis is most suspect.
