Hi x

The drs think my daughter has polyarticulatr juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, rf positive type.
Shes had knee , ankle pain on and off for a good while now, all other bloods are fine just the rheumatoid factor one was very high.
With her symptoms they are pointing towards other things, there also a few other things it could be, lupus etc but dr doesnt think so but we need to see what the specialist say.
Thing is, when her joints are sore ( which there not at mo) just the odd twinge or going g over on her ankle etc, but when they are painful there is never no heat or swelling? Which is a tell tale sign of arthritis?
So I can help but think they are missing something and it's something co completely diff, oh and she gets a lot of tummy aches, shes 12 nect month.
Has anyone got any experience of having high rf blood test and it NOT being arthritis?

Thanks in advance
