How Do The Findings In CCP, CRP And RA Tests Explain The Pain In Hips And Shoulders?

28 year old white female. Smoker. I work at a doctors office, and this past summer decided to get some labs & xrays for some off & on joint pain I have been having in my Rt hip & L shoulder blade, ( normally once or twice a month, relieved almost always with ALieve,ect..) I have had off & on pain in my Rt Hip since I was a teenager. I had a CCP,CRP,& an RA drawn. My RA came back elevated at 19.5 & CRP was 15.1, & ccp normal. This past week I had a Sed Rate,ANA, & all the other tests I had drawn before done again. My Sed rate was 45! Now the CCP & ANA have not come back yet, but the CRP had gone down to within normal limits & RA is up to 21. What does all this possibly mean??

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
You do not seems to have any problem as long as your lab reports are concern, if you do not have any clinical sing and symptoms then why to worry, having joints pain intermittently is nonspecific type of complaints and that does not requires either any treatment or test, stop worrying about it, you are too young for all these, just enjoy the life, and nothing to worry about this, take care and have nice day.
