Rheumatologist 's  Response
hello,
signs and symptoms may be pain, swelling and stiffness in joints.
seeing that you inflammatory markers are high, you seem to be suffering from inflammatory arthritis, it would be best to consult a rheumatologist for the same.
if not treated it may lead to joint deformities and disability.

Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement Dr. Mukesh Chugh's  Response
Hi
Thanks for posting
Rheuatoid arthritis is a disease that is autoimmune in nature. It affects mainly synovial joints like the joints of hands, feet, although any joint can be affected by it. Just like various chronic diseases like diabetes ,hypertension and Ischaemic heart disease are not curable but controllable; rheumatoid arthritis is also controllable. With proper medication you can lead an absolutely normal life without any pain or disability.
It is not advisable to stop medication on your own as it only leads to accrual of joint damage and leads to joint deformities. So keep a positive attitude and take regular medication; also exercise regularly.
The usual drug given in rheumatoid arthritis are methotrexate,sulfsalazine and HCQS.
My advice would be visit a rheumatologist/physician for evaluation and treatment.
Hope this information suffices.
Take care
