Positive ANA and Rheumatoid factor could my aching feet be rheumatoid arthritis?

[heathandbell]

Hi there! The past year or so I've had health issues. I had a rash for months on my chest the wouldn't go away with steroid injections. It would flare up worse with exposure to the sun. With blood testing they said I had a positive ANA 1:1000 (cant remember the exact 1000 #). So my GP sent me to Rheumatologist and Allergist. They gave me no diagnosis except try taking 4 Zyrtec a day by Allergist. They also said to come back every 6 months for blood work. The rash did go away eventually. Now I take 2 Zyrtec a day and only get a very light rash on my chest from time to time but goes away on it's own.

Fast forward to now, I'm much better. My recent ANA titer (June) was down to 1:160 and the rheumatoid factor stayed the same at 14. My GP checked the levels for me instead of me returning to the specialist because they're very expensive. He wanted to send me back, but said as long as my rash isn't bad he'd let me wait 6 months to retest. My problem that I didn't think to tell him at the time is my feet. My feet are killing me. It's either one or the other, but never seems to be both at the same time. The pain seems to be at the base of the big toe, near the top of the ball of my foot. I don't have a large amount of swelling, just a little puffy. There's no redness or heat coming from my feet when they hurt. It does hurt worse early and is mostly better by evening, but never 100%. The pain does come and go, I'll have it in one foot for a while, then maybe none. Then it will happen to the other foot. Should I wait the 6 months for my next blood work and tough out the uncomfortable foot pain? Or should i just go see my regular GP? Or spend the extra money and go back to my Rheumatologist to check for RA? Opinions are appreciated!

P.S. for a little extra info, as far as my other rheumatology blood panels go, they've been normal. No inflammation they tell me. Just that I'm slightly anemic. Thanks again!
