A Rheumatologist is a super-specialist doctor who diagnoses and treats arthritis, autoimmune diseases, and connective tissue disorders. These conditions often involve pain, swelling, stiffness, and inflammation in the joints, muscles, or organs.
Common conditions treated include:

• Rheumatoid Arthritis

• Lupus (SLE)

• Ankylosing Spondylitis

• Gout

• Osteoarthritis

• Scleroderma

• Sjogren’s Syndrome

• Vasculitis

• Fibromyalgia

• Other inflammatory and autoimmune disorders

You should consult a Rheumatologist if you experience:

• Chronic joint pain or swelling that lasts for weeks

• Morning stiffness in joints

• Unexplained fatigue, fever, or skin rashes

• Back pain that improves with activity

• Positive blood tests for autoimmune diseases (like ANA, RA Factor, CRP)

• Symptoms of conditions like Lupus, Scleroderma, or Vasculitis
  Early diagnosis by a Rheumatologist helps prevent joint damage and manage autoimmune diseases effectively.
