Guest guest Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 Hello all, Just wanting to run something by the group and see if anyone else has had similar experiences. I have been having severe pain in the left shoulder. I have pain in both shoulders, knees, and ankles. My primary care has said I have arthritis in both shoulders. The Physical Therapist confirms, or states Bursitis, Frozen Shoulder, and Arthritis. So, my primary ran CRP, ESR, Rheumatoid Factor and blood test for ANA. All came back negative except for ANA. The test for ANA is positive with a titer of 1:80. I am requesting a referral to a Rheumatologist to try and confirm what is going on. The primary is telling me that since the other 3 tests are negative I cannot possibly have RA. I have in readings found where persons can have negative test but still have RA. Just wondering if anyone in the group has had similar results. Thanks in advance, Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
