What is seronagative?
Seronegative refers to the absence of specific antibodies in a person's blood serum, indicating that they have not been exposed to certain infections or diseases. In medical contexts, it often relates to conditions like seronegative rheumatoid arthritis, where patients may exhibit symptoms of the disease without the presence of specific autoantibodies typically associated with it. This term contrasts with "seropositive," where antibodies are present.

No, they appear pretty much exactly the same way as dark shadows called' hot spots'. The history of the patient is what makes the difference in making the diagnosis.

If one does not claim previous injury to the area then a doctor may diagnose degenerative arthritis.
Can you have rheumatoid arthritis with a rheumatoid factor 6.9?
Yes you can have RA with an Rf of 20. When a doctor sees the symptoms of RA they automatically check for RF because it is a good indicator that that is the problem when taking the symptoms into account , However you don't need any RF at all to be suffering from RA. When this happens it is described as "seronegative rheumatoid arthritis".An RF of more than 23 units and a titer over than 1:80 can indicate rheumatoid arthritis but may also occur in other conditions.A negative test result for rheumatoid factor does notnecesarily exclude the diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis.
