Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The pain in the joints like you are having with a positive ANA can be due to lupus or rheumatoid arthritis. The symptoms of lupus are usually not constant and they wax and wane with time. It is also usually associated with a characteristic skin rash that flares up on exposure to sunlight.
It can also be associated with headaches, skin rashes, joint swelling, dry eyes, chest pain, fever, etc. It is best to consult a rheumatologist for a direct physical examination.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.
