Hi everyone. I went to my doctor last week for severe joint pain and stiffness in my hands,wrist,and elbows. I also have stiffness in the mornings in my knees.I also have lumps under my skin on my none just 2 inches below my wrist on my right arm. He said he thinks it's RA. My symptoms of stiffness in the mornings or after sitting for a period of time. He drew some labs work on me and since autoimmune disease run high in my family he wanted to as he said throw a net out to see what we find. We'll my levels came back all normal and my RA factor was 10. He has me on Meloxicam and told me he doesn't think I have RA that it may be Osteoarthritis. My thing is my main issue is in my hands wrist and elbows my joints will swell up and cause my joints to be redrish in color? So is it Osteoarthritis or is he just guessing? PLEASE HELP!
