Good question: Ra is diagnosed primarily by what your symptoms are. Typically RA patients have pain in small and large joints on both side of your body. Not all of the joints need to be symptomatic at once. 30 min to 1 hour of joint morning stiffness is typically present. The labssuch as crp, rf, ccp, ESR , may or may not help. If you have ra, it often takes a while to find the right medication or combo to work.
