Ra Diagnosis
Swelling, stiffness, crackling sound in the joints, shifting pain in the joints, pain on slightest movement of the joints are all symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis.
Sometimes after a strep throat the antibody produced could attack our own joints and cause this arthritis like pain.
But the only way to diagnose them is do some blood work. Rheumatoid arthritis factor, aso titre, c reactive protein apart from esr etc. To get the proper diagnosis.

Humera
I was diagnosed four years ago with ra and nothing seemed to help. My doctor at the time informed me about a clinical research study going on at that time in the houston area so I decided to try it. I am soo thankful I did. The very first injection I was able to get out of bed the next morning with very little stiffness verses taking 15 to 20 minutes every morning getting out of bed. At the time it was a blind study but I knew at that moment I received the real medicine. I would really like to stress the benefits of humera. At this point, I don't feel like I have a disease at all or ever had one. I have absolutely no stiffness, swelling, etc. And I was before, a severe case. If you have been diagnosed with ra, talk to your rheumatologist about humera.
