FAQs

Got a question? We’re here to help.

  • When should you see a rheumatologist?

    Arthritis and mild joint pain that occurs with activity can generally be controlled with self-help measures like rest and the use of over-the-counter medications–such as aspirin and ibuprofen.


    When pain becomes severe or persistent, it may be necessary to see a rheumatologist. You should seek medical attention if you have:

    • pain involving many joints
    • new joint pain that does not stem from an injury
    • unexplained chronic pain with symptoms like fever, sweats or weight loss
    • muscular pain not associated with any other symptoms
    • been diagnosed with arthritis or a rheumatic disease

  • Your treatment plan

    Your physician or advanced practice provider will carefully evaluate you and develop an appropriate treatment plan based on:

    • a physical exam to evaluate your symptoms
    • your overall function, including your physical and mental health and your level of independence
    • lab test and imaging results
