Most FAQs About Rheumatology

A rheumatologist is a specialist physician who has expertise in diagnosing and treating diseases of the joints, muscles and bones.

If you notice pain, swelling, stiffness or difficulty moving one or more joints, and these symptoms seem to come on suddenly and worsen over a few weeks, you should see a rheumatologist.. A rheumatologist is a physician with years of additional, specialized training in treating rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases. A rheumatologist can examine you and give you specific tests, such as blood tests or X-rays, to determine the cause of your joint pain.
Rheumatoid arthritis, also called RA, is an autoimmune, inflammatory disease that affects the joints. While its causes are still unclear, RA happens when the body’s immune system malfunctions and attacks the healthy tissues of the synovium, or lining of joints, by mistake. RA triggers inflammation that quickly flares and causes severe pain and swelling in your joints. Joints can break down and become very difficult to bend or use. RA may rarely affect other organs, too, such as the eyes, lungs, heart or skin.
The causes of RA are unclear at this time.
