Rheumatology deals with diseases affecting the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue, often with an inflammatory or autoimmune basis. Many of them develop gradually, and the first symptoms—pain, stiffness, and joint swelling—are easy to overlook. Early consultation makes it possible to establish a diagnosis and begin treatment promptly, before permanent changes occur.
What conditions does a rheumatologist treat?
Patients consult a rheumatologist for a wide range of conditions. The most common include:
- Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and other forms of arthritis
- Degenerative joint disease — of the knees, hips, hands, and spine
- Gout (podagra)
- Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and psoriatic arthritis
- Osteoporosis and calcium-phosphate metabolism disorders
- Systemic connective tissue diseases, including lupus, scleroderma, and Sjögren’s syndrome
- Fibromyalgia and chronic pain syndromes
What does a rheumatology consultation look like?
The appointment begins with a discussion of your symptoms, how they have progressed, and any coexisting conditions. The doctor then performs a joint examination and clinical assessment and, based on your symptoms, may order additional tests, including blood work, inflammatory markers, and imaging studies. Based on these findings, the doctor establishes a diagnosis and recommends a treatment plan or further diagnostic evaluation. It is a good idea to bring the results of any previous tests and a list of medications you are currently taking.
