What do Rheumatologists do?
Rheumatologists are medical professionals who specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and other autoimmune diseases. They work with patients to identify risk factors for developing RA, assess the severity of symptoms, and develop a treatment plan. Rheumatologists also provide ongoing support, guidance, and education to patients and their families. They can diagnose RA by examining the joints, looking for swollen or red skin, or by testing for antibodies against the disease. They can also use blood tests to measure levels of certain proteins in the blood. Rheumatologists can also help patients manage symptoms by providing education about diet and exercise, as well as by providing medication recommendations. They can also help patients find jobs that match their needs, such as working in a hospital or a government agency.
What are the symptoms for which you need to see a Rheumatologist?
Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic autoimmune disease in which the body’s immune system attacks its cells. Rheumatoid arthritis can affect any part of the body, but it is most common in the joints. It can cause pain, swelling, redness, and stiffness. The most common symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis are:
1. Pain in the joints and muscles.
2. Redness, swelling, and warmth in the joints.
3. Stiffness in the joints.
4. Swelling of the joints.
5. Aching in the joints.
6. A burning feeling in the joints.
The most common symptom is a pain in the joints and muscles, which is usually worse at night and in the morning. The pain can be severe enough to wake you up and make you want to get out of bed. However, it can also be mild, and you may not even notice it at first. The pain can be severe enough to make you want to take pain medication or go to a doctor for a diagnosis. However, it is important to note that pain alone is not a sign of RA; it is a symptom that should always be investigated by a doctor if you suspect that it is RA.
