Hi
Thanks for posting your query
After going through your description, my advice would to find out the cause of knee joint pain,you may get following blood test - serum RA factor, ANA test,Anti CCP antibody test and serum uric acid.
Rheumatoid 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.
Do you have any above said feature to label you as having rheumatoid arthris?
Please feel free to ask me if you have any other query. Do you have a family history of multiple joint pains?
My advice would be visit a rheumatologist/physician for evaluation and treatment.
Hope this information suffices.
Take care
