I am 41 years old female who is under hypothyroid treatment for the past 11 years with 100 mcg eltroxin. 6 months before I experienced severe pain in all the joints including the finger bones went for a test except ra factor as 16 everything else was normal, doctor called it polyarthritis and gave neugaba 75 for 2 months, I took the tablet for 3 days and I was relieved from joint pains for the next 2.5 months everything g was fine, now again I am experiencing the same type of joint pain. Should I take the medicine for two months continuously, after that can I stop or it will get addicted and I should continue for life long.

Hi lybrate-user! I would like to know more about your joint pain. Other thing is you should get detailed blood investigation. You can get esr, crp and serum uric acid along with anti ccp.

See first of all ra factor is not a specific test for rheumatoid arthritis. It is just like doing an antigen test for covid. More specific one to rule out ra is anti ccp. Thyroid disorders/diabetes or other hormonal issues can worsen your joint symptoms. Even there are many other types of arthritis in which ra and anti ccp can be negative. Check your blood routine with esr ,rbs, uric acid, crp, anti ccp and periodically check for your thyroid status. Any other problems like breathing difficulty, tightness in chest, urinary infections, redness in eye, skin changes to be looked into for further evaluation.
