Detailed Answer:

Hello,

Thanks for posting your query. I have gone through your query and health concern and attached report.

RA factor is positive only in 25% of cases, in rest of cases diagnose is only clinical. So you can take Eterocoxib, do hot water fomentation. You can go for TB Gold test also.

I hope this answers your query.

Wishing you good health.
