I'm in the middle of doctors trying to figure out what is wrong with me.
My rheumatoid factor level was high when they tested my blood but the rheumatologist I went to doesn't think my joints are swollen enough to be RA.
My bones crack often in my feet, it hurts to get up out of a chair and to climb stairs.
My hands hurt all the time and are swollen but not to the doctor's satisfaction.
I'm also postmenopausal at 38. I think a lot of this is due to the fact that I take lithium
for bipolar.
My grandmother had MS and the rheumatologist thinks I could be at the beginning of MS possibly.

I have pain all over my body of varying degree and I really think it could be RA.
Do any of my symptoms sound like RA?
Any input would be appreciated! Thank you.
