if you have elevated inflammatory factors, it could impact you in a lot of ways. if you've had previous injuries, they may flare up, or you may get systemic joint pain, depending on how high the levels are
as a matter of course, given you have had no injury recently and you're feeling worsening pain in your joints, i would think the GP should re-test your bloods to compare and see if anything has changed. make sure to mention the hand pain and borderline results to your GP so that he knows this isn't a new and isolated "injury"
Thanks hun, i'm going back to my normal GP, she is awesome and i love her to bits, costs me to go but atleast i know she listens to me and i can understand every word she says.
Def haven't had any injuries in my knees before... maybe my weight is starting to make a difference to all my joints
Hopefully she can give me some more answers, it's a PITA and quite uncomfortable, looks odd swollen aswell.
Went and had my appt, Dr said there is def fluid on my knee and she thinks it COULD be arthritis related, she has ordered more bloods anti CCP, E/LFTs, FBE, CRP, ESR & ANA .. got to go back in about a week and go right through the results.
She said it's good i came to get re-checked and that i am keeping an eye on it, am hoping it's nothing as i can't take anti-inflamatories becuase of BFing, does anyone have advice of things i can do to ease the pain without harming my BFing journey?
