blood results???

Hi,
I thought I would give you an update with my blood results from the GP today. She said it all looks normal, however, I still need to keep my appointment with the Rheumatologist as she still believes it is Arthritis, although she believes RA has now been ruled out.

I really need an answer as every day now my feet are on fire, painful, knees crippling, lower back painful, shoulder problems and now my hands, which until recently, are giving me pains and I was woken up last night with pain in the little finger and when I felt it there is a lump what feels like inside on the knuckle itself.

Hope you're having a pain free day

Hi
my GP told me i didnt have arthristis as bloods normal, but when i saw rhuemy she done more tests and i have RA. dont want to worry you telling you this but make sure you go to see the rhuemy as you need to know what is causing all the pain and then you can get treatment for it.
wishing you all the best

Hi Alan

I think I mentioned on your previous thread, bloods can come back normal and you can still have arthritis.

Sounds like you are having a flare and I am sorry for you. Hopefully the rheumi you see will be on the ball and give you some information as to what is going on and perhaps more importantly what he suggests to be done about it.

I wish we were all having painfree days!

All the best,
Elna

I would like to know - when you go to the GP - my results go to both GP and Consultant - and you are in lots of pain - the GP says that they are OK - they are normal.

So I then ring my Rheumy Nurse and ask her what my tests say - that they are slightly raised but nothing to worry about. "Yes, OK, But I am in pain here".

Yep Prayerman
Bloods can be normal at GPs and not at rheumy's - they will do their own.
You go to that apt and see.
You will be so much more likely to get answers there
Take care
