Last month I went to my GP with painful hands/fingers and he ordered blood tests and x-ray of hands. The x-ray came back normal but I had a CRP of 41. My GP referred me to a Rheumatologist and she repeated the blood tests yesterday. Stupidly I googled and read that raised CRP levels can be because of heart disease and some cancers, now I am extremely anxious. I keep worrying the most recent blood test results will be even worse. I get the impression the consultant doesn't think I have arthritis in my hands but has ordered an ultrasound. Has anyone else had raised CRP levels without knowing why? :weep:
