Is it time to see a Rhumey?

I am experiencing alot more joint pain in the knees, hips, fingers, and toes. Is it time to go see a Rhumey?

CheerDad,
I would recommend it a good rhuemy is your best friend if you have any type of inflamation or arthritis. They really can do things to help ease your pain and stop the progression of the arthritis. I think most people with chron's should have a rhuemy on their team even if they don't have arthritisyet.

Yes Randy, it's time to go. You have to know what type of arthritis you have to know how to correctly treat it. My rheumy is my BEST doctor. He really has the best overall understanding of how all my diseases interact and effect me and one another. Wouldn't trade him for the world!

Hi Randy, You really should see a rheumy. I had joint pain and back pain last year and caught it late. The osteo dr sent me to the rheumy when my ankles started swelling. It was inflammatory arthritis, earlier misdiagnosed as a possible bulging disc. If u catch it early u can spare some pain and recovery time. I couldn't walk for three weeks. Once I was sent to the rheumy he put me on pain meds and pred. It did the trick and I was able to get back to spors 8)

Randy,

Let me be succinct:

YES.

Sincerely,
Matthew
