How can I identify why my joints are hurting? Blood work is normal

If C-Reactive protein test and Homocysteine are both normal it would be a surprise if you have
arthritis or infection. I have severe osteo along with a couple of other issues that cause inflammation so both of those tests show high levels. Get those tests to find out more if you have not had them.

I have blood work every month to make sure my liver and kidneys are OK because I take methetrixate(sp) my c-protein is normal and so is rest of blood work. Homocysteine is not in my testing I don't think. My ana normal and so is my ra factor. Back when hands swelling my tendon shafts were swollen..still are but going down. My RA doc said I need to stay on methatrixate plyquenil folic acid. All I know is I am not in pain anymore. I just have to watch the breast cancer coming back...8% chance it might. The mri with dye is a worry because of dye. I want to know anyone that has had an infusion to wash the dye out of you. I drink lots of water after and drink Gatorade but I want I fusion too.
