Hello, Nouhad,
I am not a doctor, so I can only offer my experience and what I have read. Not everyone who has a high rheumatoid factor has RA. Conversely, not everyone who has RA has an elevated Rheumatoid Factor. An elevated blood test can mean several things. I suggest you go over these numbers thoroughly w/your doctor. He/she may refer you to a rheumatologist. I hope you find out something definitive soon and are able to obtain some relief. Please let us know how you are doing.
Best Wishes,
V
