A member asked:

My rheumatoid factor went from 29 to. 53. could this be mild start to rheumatoid arthritis, have severe painful feet red hot & swollen.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possibly: A CCP antibody is a much better test but your symptoms could suggest RA. See a rheumatologist to establish a diagnosis and begin treatment. Intense inflammation limited to the feet can also suggest gout.
