This sounds like the first signs of rheumatoid arthritis. RA is not easily diagnosed and can easily slip a doctors attention. Rheumatoid Arthritis is an autoimmune disease where the immune system mistakenly attacks connective tissues in joints and other parts of the body. It takes time to get a diagnosis of this disease as there is no definitive test for it' However Blood tests that are done for RA include tests for Rheumatoid factor which is elevated in about 80% of RA cases. as well as esr (erochite sedimentation blood tests) to check for inflammation, a more recent an very important test to help in the diagnosis is the CCP blood test, this can be useful in diagnosing early RA. An elevated CCP can be found in a significant number of patients who have a negative RF, and therefore can help to make a diagnosis. According to the American College of Rheumatology, CCP antibodies may be detected in about 50-60% of patients with early RA (as early as 3-6 months after the beginning of symptoms). Early detection and diagnosis of RA allows doctors to begin aggressive treatment of the condition, minimising the associated complications and tissue damage.
