Some of you may have seen my previous thread about sore hands, i went and had blood tests and the Dr had asked me to come back in 3mths.

The levels for rheumatoid arthritis were a 14, he said normally above a 14 is an indication of arthritis and i needed to be re-tested.

Lately i am finding it quite hard to sleep, my hips ache, my back aches, if i bend over for a long period of time it's almost like i fuse into that position and it hurts to stretch it out so i was thinking of going back to my won dr.

The last 3 days i have had a sore knee, when i bend it it's like it's not 'clicking' into place and there is quite a bit of pressure there, PITA as i am always on the floor with DD's etc.
DP thinks i am exaggerating but i showed him my knee before and it actually looks swollen compared to the other.

I have made an appt with my Dr for tomorrow to get it checked, should i get the arthritis levels checked again, is it something that could cause this in my knee, hips and back?

TIA.
