Rheumatic conditions are typically characterized by pain, aching, stiffness and swelling in and around one or more joints. The symptoms can develop gradually or suddenly. Some forms of arthritis, such as rheumatoid arthritis and lupus, can affect multiple organs and cause widespread symptoms.
If your blood work gets sent to a Hospital who knows how long they will take. I work at Quest and I know blood work does not take longer than 7 days to process there because some of it will have to actually sit if the doctor wants you fasting. Status: Offline.
How long does it take to get blood work results from a lab? My doctor doesn't have a lab of his own, but they do draw blood there, and they send it to a lab. How long do most labs take to get results? I have heard everything from 1 day to 1 week. Update: I did ask the doctor. The doctor said 3 days. The nurse that took the blood sample said 1 day.
