When Should You See a Rheumatologist?
If you’re experiencing any of the following, it might be time to ask your primary care provider about a referral to a rheumatologist:
-
Autoimmune disorders – including conditions like lupus or psoriatic arthritis, where the immune system mistakenly attacks the body’s own tissues, often causing inflammation, fatigue, and joint pain
-
Osteoporosis – a condition where bones become weak and brittle, increasing the risk of fractures, particularly in the hips, spine, and wrists
-
Pain conditions – ongoing joint or muscle pain that doesn’t improve with rest or over-the-counter treatments, which may signal an underlying inflammatory disorder
-
Psoriatic arthritis – a type of arthritis that affects some people with psoriasis, leading to joint pain, stiffness, and swelling
-
Rheumatoid arthritis – a chronic inflammatory disorder where the immune system attacks the joints, typically causing pain, swelling, and potential joint damage over time
Early diagnosis and treatment from a rheumatologist can help reduce symptoms and protect your quality of life.
