THose numbers do NOT sound in the range for NOT having RA, especially RA Factor of 44 and SED Rate of 21! Here is what I found : eople also ask
Is a rheumatoid factor of 44 high?
The "normal" range (or negative test result) for rheumatoid factor is less than 14 IU/ml. Any result with values 14 IU/ml or above is considered abnormally high, elevated, or positive.
What sed rate indicates RA?
What is a Normal Sed Rate for Rheumatoid Arthritis?
People with RA that is not well-controlled tend to have a higher sed rate. “Patients who are actively flaring or do not have good control over their disease can have sed rates anywhere from a little above 20 to over 120,” says Rebecca B. Blank, M.D., Ph.Jul 25, 2024s a CRP of 6.2 high?
A CRP test result of 1.0 to 10.0 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) is generally considered a moderately elevated level.

I would get a second opinion for sure

THIS RA doctor sounds like he never went to school and studied RA. Even I can see the red flags and I am an IT person who has a husband with RA!
