What Causes Severe Joint Pain Along With RF 167 In Blood Test?
Hello, my boyfriend of age 25 has recently suffered from an extreme amount of pain in his joints. One day he woke up and couldn t walk. He went to his doctor and they sent him for blood work. When his results cam back his RF was 167, everything else was normal. He is seeing a specialist, but nothing seems to be working. What is he suffering from, any ideas would help.
