Mine always come back negative my hands don't even look that swollen but my joints are so painful. I do have swelling in my shoulders, elbows wrists, knees and ankles, but when my doctor puts the ultra souls on be I light it up lol

I have only had 2 positive ra results in 5 years. Told i have osteo arthritis also...
Its confusing but i guess possible

Yes that happened to me. My doctor than order the Victar test which showed a very high level of RA inflammation. I always test negative on other test and X-rays always shows osteoarthritis.

Yes. I have sero-negative ra which means that the bloodwork comes back negative for ra factor but your inflammation or c reactive protein is very high. You also have the other symptoms related to ra. I also have moderate osteoarthritis in my lower back and just got a facet injection yesterday. Good luck on your journey.

Yes. I have. I am negative for RA. But I have it. It was finally diagnosed by a smart Dr. looking at my Xray. But since then, I had a new doctor tell me that there was no evidence of RA looking at the same area and told me it was all OA.... I fired her when she said it was all in my head. Having said that now they are telling me that I have osteo arthritis in my back I hop that is true, because I don't want RA in there. I can relate.
