What Causes Low Cholesterol Levels During Arthritis?
I was recently screened for RA and the result came back less than 20. I know I have osteoarthritis, but I also ache throughout the day, not just in the morning. Also, I have lost 42 pounds in the past year...my cholesterol level was going down, but even without regaining any weight, my cholesterol level is going back up. Any ideas?

hi
cholesterol level rise may not be related to osteoarthritis, it depeds more on nutritional factors and liver metabolism and medicines to control levels are there including dietary measures. For arthritic pains, physical therapy and pain medicines may be sought from doctors
best wishes
