FAQs on Rheumatology

What Is Rheumatology?

Rheumatologists are trained to diagnose and treat rheumatic diseases, which involve the joints, muscles and ligaments. Some of the most common conditions our rheumatology team sees at 澳门金沙手机官方官网 include:

  • Rheumatoid arthritis
  • Scleroderma
  • Gout
  • Lupus

Are Some People More Vulnerable To Rheumatic Diseases Than Others?

Yes. You may pose more than an average risk of developing a rheumatic disorder if:

  • You have a family history of rheumatic disorders
  • You have a family history of autoimmune diseases
  • You have been diagnosed with an autoimmune disease

If these conditions describe your medical history, don’t hesitate to communicate with your primary care physician about a referral to a rheumatologist.

When Should I See A Rheumatologist?

While occasional aches and pains are a normal part of living with a body, pain that is severe and persistent should be treated as a red flag. The sooner you bring your symptoms to your rheumatologist, the sooner we can begin treating the problem and preventing further damage. Your primary care doctor may also diagnose you with a rheumatic disease and refer to you a rheumatologist for care.
