What does a rheumatologist do?
Rheumatology is the medical specialty that diagnoses and treats diseases of the musculoskeletal system and systemic autoimmune diseases: arthritis, osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, lupus, spondyloarthritis, fibromyalgia and many others. The rheumatologist is the reference specialist for persistent joint and muscle pain.
When should you see a rheumatologist?
It is worth consulting if you have joint pain that does not improve, prolonged morning stiffness, joint swelling, inflammatory low back pain, persistent tiredness with muscle discomfort, osteoporosis or a recent fragility fracture, or if you would like a second opinion on a rheumatological diagnosis.

When should I see a rheumatologist?
For persistent joint pain, prolonged morning stiffness, joint swelling, inflammatory low back pain, osteoporosis or fragility fractures, or for a second opinion on a rheumatological diagnosis.
What is the difference between arthritis and osteoarthritis?
Osteoarthritis is wear of the joint cartilage; arthritis is inflammation of the joint. They are treated differently, which is why a correct diagnosis matters.
What does a rheumatologist do at the first visit?
They listen to your story, examine your joints, review your tests and give you a clear plan: suspected diagnosis, necessary tests and treatment options.
Do rheumatologists treat osteoporosis?
Yes, rheumatology is one of the reference specialties for assessing and treating osteoporosis and preventing fractures.
Can I ask for a second opinion?
Yes, it is a patient's right. Bring your reports and tests and your case will be reviewed with an independent, respectful eye.
Which symptoms may indicate an inflammatory disease?
Morning stiffness lasting over 30 minutes, persistent joint swelling, pain that improves with movement, marked tiredness or unexplained fever.
