About this Package:
The Pain Profile Screen is a targeted diagnostic panel designed to investigate the root causes of unexplained body aches, joint pain, stiffness, and fatigue. It doesn't just look for injury; it screens for underlying metabolic, autoimmune, and nutritional causes of pain.
✔ Arthritis Screening: Checks Uric Acid (Gout) and Rheumatoid Factor (RA).
✔ Bone & Muscle Health: Checks Vitamin D3, essential for bone strength.
✔ Metabolic Causes: Screens for Diabetes (Glucose) and Thyroid issues (TSH) which can cause muscle pain.
✔ Inflammation Check: Measures CRP levels.

Uncovering the Source of Your Pain
Chronic pain isn't always about an injury. Often, it's a signal that something is chemically wrong inside the body. This panel combines 6 specific tests to check the most common internal causes:
- Vitamin D3 (25-Hydroxy): Low Vitamin D is a leading cause of bone pain, lower back aches, and general muscle weakness. It is often misdiagnosed as fibromyalgia.
- Uric Acid: High levels lead to the formation of crystals in joints, causing Gout, a painful form of arthritis (often in the big toe or knees).
- Rheumatoid Factor (Quantitative): A screening test for Rheumatoid Arthritis, an autoimmune condition where the body attacks its own joints causing swelling and stiffness.
- CRP Quantitative (C-Reactive Protein): A general marker for inflammation. High levels confirm that there is active inflammation in the body contributing to pain.
- TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone): Hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) is a common cause of muscle aches, joint pain, and fatigue.
- Glucose Fasting: High blood sugar (Diabetes) can damage nerves (Neuropathy), leading to tingling, burning, and pain in the hands and feet.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: Who should take this test?
This profile is ideal for anyone suffering from persistent joint pain, morning stiffness, unexplained backaches, muscle weakness, or general body fatigue that doesn't go away with rest.

Q2: Why is Fasting Glucose included in a pain panel?
Uncontrolled blood sugar is a major cause of Diabetic Neuropathy, a condition where damaged nerves cause chronic pain, burning sensations, and numbness. Identifying diabetes is crucial for treating this type of pain.

Q3: Can Vitamin D deficiency really cause pain?
Yes. Severe Vitamin D deficiency causes a condition called osteomalacia (soft bones), which manifests as deep bone pain, typically in the lower back, pelvis, and legs. Correcting the deficiency often resolves the pain.

Q4: What is the difference between Uric Acid and Rheumatoid Factor?
Uric Acid is a metabolic waste; high levels cause Gout (sudden, sharp joint pain). Rheumatoid Factor is an antibody; high levels suggest Rheumatoid Arthritis (chronic autoimmune joint inflammation). This panel checks for both.

Q5: Do I need to fast?
Yes, because of the Glucose Fasting test, you should fast for 8-10 hours before giving the sample. You can drink water.
