Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have seen your reports (attachment removed to protect patient identity). Your RA (rheutamoid) factor is positive. So, for confirming rheumatoid arthritis, anti-CCP investigation can be done. Local part X-ray also needs to be done. Spinach, beet juice, and green leafy vegetables are beneficial in arthritis. For treatment I suggest NSAID (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) group of drugs, disease-modifying drugs like Methotrexate, Sulfasalazine, Hydrochloroquine, TNF-blockers like Etanercept, etc. According to need, these drugs may be prescribed. Consult a rheumatologist for examination and discuss your case and treatment options. Thank you and take care. Regards.
