I’m 24 and my doctor wants me to get blood work done for this because we thought it was tendinitis in my elbows, but now the inflammation has spread to my hips knees and ankles. I was just wondering what the procedure is; how big is the needle, how much blood they need, and which part of the body they give you the shot.
Also, if anyone has any home remedies instead of western medicine this would be great too. Thanks!

Firstly, if this turns out to be Rheumatoid Arthritis, you don’t have time for home remedies. RA is a very serious disease. You can speak to people who were slow to get a diagnosis and treatment and you’ll find it’s not a pretty story. I know one lady whose RA has spread to her lungs and brain and she has severe joint deformity. You need to seek treatment ASAP if you have RA.
The needles aren’t big and they’re not a big deal. You’ll feel a little jab and they’ll probably take 3 or 4 vials. They take it from inside the elbow. Make sure they do as many of the tests as they can now so you don’t have to go back again.
Good luck.

A blood test is indeed the initial procedure that Doctors will use to diagnose rheumatoid arthritis, because in early stages x-rays may not show any change. The majority of success stories of curing or lessening the symptoms of RA are a result of early diagnosis and medical treatment.
If by home remedy you meant something that isn’t a prescription medication, I have included a link below where you can find out more.
