Frequently Asked Questions

What does a rheumatologist treat?

Rheumatologists treat arthritis and autoimmune diseases - rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, gout, ankylosing spondylitis, psoriatic arthritis, vasculitis and unexplained joint or muscle pain.

When should I see a rheumatologist instead of an orthopaedic doctor?

See a rheumatologist when joint pain involves multiple joints, comes with morning stiffness lasting over 30 minutes, swelling, fever or fatigue, or when blood tests such as RA factor, ANA or uric acid are abnormal. Orthopaedic doctors focus more on injuries and mechanical problems.

How does an online rheumatology consultation work?

You describe your symptoms and show affected joints on camera, and the doctor reviews your blood reports and X-rays, starts or adjusts treatment, and monitors medicines that need regular blood test follow-up.

Can autoimmune diseases be cured?

Most are long-term conditions that can be controlled very well with modern treatment. Early diagnosis and regular follow-up prevent joint damage and organ complications, letting most patients lead normal active lives.
