Why see a rheumatologist?
Pain in joints or swelling
Joint pain or inflammation is often symptomatic of diseases we treat.
Abnormal test results
While abnormal tests results are not a definitive sign of disease, it should be ruled out by an expert. Look out for antinuclear antibodies (ANA), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), and rheumatoid factor (RF).
Pre-existing condition
If you were diagnosed with a rheumatologic disease, it is important to be followed by an expert, as such diseases demand proper attention.
