i have joint pain since delivery, especially in my hands. what could be the reason?
hello doctor,i am 33 and since having my baby a year ago i am suffering from joint pain, especially in my wrists and fingers. i have pins and needles sensation at times and writing is becoming difficult. i just got my reports and have elevated crp and low folate. any idea what could be wrong?
hello,
welcome to icliniq.com.
i went through your post. you have pain in the small joints of your body with an elevated crp (c-reactive protein) level.
i suggest you go for an investigation to rule out rheumatoid arthritis. do anti-ccp (anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide) and rf (rheumatoid factor) test along with x-ray of the hands.
if you also have a swelling of these joints, along with pain, the possibility of ra (rheumatoid arthritis) is high. once the diagnosis is clear, it can be treated easily. until then, i suggest you start folic acid 1 mg daily and you can also take vitamin d orally. 
regards.
