Emma, there are blood test to show if you have Rheumatiod Arthritis , but you would have heat & redness in the joints Ibruprofen in not the best of the gels , Volarol is alot better , you could ask for a xray on your hand & that shouls tell them if its ostoarthritis , and as for the blood test ask for the figures for ESR & CRP which is the inflammation makers , their idea of ok may not be the same as yours

Thanks Colin, I am keeping a diary of what's going on & l will go back in a week or two to the Drs and I will ask what the levels were in my blood test. Part of me feels like I am overreacting as I am not in pain as such. My joints ache and stiffen up and the aching moves to different fingers. There isn't any redness so I don't think it's RA. I know something is not right and I want to know what's going on before it gets worse.
