Does my having an arthritic lower back, neck & thumbs neutralize the results of the hs crp test? since the former involves inflammation?

Probably: CRP isnt a very reliable diagnostic test.

Likely : If you have an inflammatory disorder, it is not feasible to interpret the results of high sensitivity CRP tests.
