Hard one: Unfortunately, based on the limited info you presented, it is essentially impossible to suggest anything. The WBC of 11.3 is only minimally elevated. Anc of 8916 is ok, but knowing the differential may help. Tibc without other iron studies provides very little insigh. The # itself appears elevated. An ESR of 28 is mildly increased but provides little info. Uric acid is high - gout is to be r/out.

The causes of multiarticular arthritis are numerous. Without a full examination and detailed history it is impossible to speculate, and as Dr.Conovalcuic indicates the lab data you have provided is incomplete, and as such difficult to interpret. If necessary see a rheumatologist.
