Hi! Anyone here who have knowledge about RA factors? I've been told my RA factor is 20.9. I have fluid in both knees and one wrist, and they are very painful. My mom has had RA since she was mid 30's her mum and my grandmother too. I'm 29. Will it just get worse?

Untreated it very well may sheenala. If you haven't gotten into a rheumatologist please try to and get a course of treatment worked out. RA untreated can be very devastating and fast acting as well.

I hope that your symptoms lift and that you are able to find relief from the pain.

I'm sorry to hear at such a young age that you may have RA. My RA factor was 92 and I was in bad shape. I hope you find a rheumy that will help you with the pain and inflammation I still have a lot of problems because of severe rheumatoid arthritis and on top of that other issues that just start pilling up but there are medications that really help to feel better and hopefully as young as you are it will get better with the meds. Keep your head up and keep going, I know it's not easy but I keep moving, cleaning, caring for my family and I'm hopeful that I will continue to keep myself on that track. God bless and I'm sending prayers your way.
