Hello. I Have An Extensive Immediate Family History Of RA,

Hello. I have an extensive immediate family history of RA, Lupus, and other auto-immune diseases so I proactively have bloodwork checked every 6 months. about 18 months ago my hands started hurting, on the tops. It was more situational like driving, typing, lots of push ups, workouts etc. Dr. prescribed meloxicam 15mg to take daily. I don't like to take it but I do when I'm the worst condition. In the last 4 months this has become constant pain and the medicine isn't making a difference. I had EMG test today and there are no signs of carpal tunnel. What tests should I suggest next to figure this out?
