Hi there! Your mother probably suffers from and is being treated for Rheumatoid Arthritis. As a rule, we do not chase CRP levels for a patient. We chase the symptoms and aigns i.e. The problems actually faced by the patient. CRP levels might or might not come down, with or without medicines. But there is nothing wrong with it. I suggest you stop getting repeated CRP levels assessed at your level. You'll be much happier. Let CRP levels be assessed, as and when required, by your Doctor. If clinically o/ symptomatically, your mother is better. That's the best thing. If she still has problems of pain, stiffness, etc. Her medication might have to be increased. Consult as required. All the best!
