Can anyone explain my blood tests to me? aRe they high

[Guest guest]

I wake up every morning feeling achy and stiff all

over, especially my hands and knees. When I sit on

the floor to change my daughters diaper or get on the

floor to play with her, I can't hardly get up, my

knees become real stiff in just a short period of time

and it hurts to get up. My doctor said that my hands

look a little like rheumatoid hands so he ran blood

work and took lower back xrays and shoulder xrays (due

to bursitits in right shoulder and clicking sounds in

my shoulder.) I went shopping the other day and within

an hour my back hurt so bad I had to bend over a cart

to try to get relief, I ended up having to come home.

I'm 29 years old and I don't feel this is normal. I

went to the hospital to get a copy of my lab reusluts,

I don't go back to the doctor until tomorrow to find

out the results but I'm curious.

I will type the test then results then expected range

Rheumatoid FAc. QNT. 16 IU/ml expected less than 15

In comments it reads This result is flagged ABNORMAL

HIGH

HLA B27 Negative A (what does A mean) Negative

Westergren Sed Rate 8 mm/hr expected 0-20

CPK results 64 U/L expected 24-170

Uric Acid 3.6 mg/dl expected 2.6-8.0

C-Reactive Protein 0.50 mg/l exptected less than

10.0

Aldolase 4.6 U/L expected less than 7.4

Anti-Nuclear Aby 0.7 Negative expected less than

1.0

Does any of these results show I have rheumatoid?

What does the Rheumatoid blood test mean? The

doctors nurse called me on Tuesday and left a message

for me to call her when I got the message. I didn't

get it until after the office was closed and they

weren't open yesterday so I'm calling today. I'm just

curious. I have started Naproxen 600 mg the week of

Thanksgiving. I will say I'm not hurting as much as I

was before I started the meds. Still have pain but

has gotten a little better. Thanks for your help.

What ever you can answer.
