I got my rheumatoid factor blood test 23 iu/ml, anti - hcv negative. what does it means? im experiencing muscle pain & muscle twitching. any advice?

Wrong tests!: You need to get a CCP antibody test. Your low titer RF may be meaningless, and 5% of the population has one. The CCP test is much more specific for RA!
