I had lab work done to determine if I have arthritis or/and fibromyalgia the thing is all my labs came back normal except for my CRP which came back elevated at 10mg/ml. The dr did the trigger point test and it was 18 of 18. I have ached from head to toe in my muscles and joints for 6 weeks along with stiff joints. I recently had a c-section with no complications about 6 weeks ago to but have be told that the delivery could have caused a "flare up". Any thoughts as to what may be going on would be great. Family history of Lupus, RA, and Fibro. Tried tylenol and ibuprophen only thing working is Loratab. Thanks
CRP measure imflamation or infection in the blood. I'm assuming that he doesn't think its an infection because my cbc came back great. He's sending me to a rhuematologist for his opinion. I feel like have the flu, I have also taken 2 series of antibiotic just incase, I also have no other symptom (ex. Cold, fever,sore throat)
The normal CRP range is from 1-2. With elevated levels sometimes being 3-4 with no concern
