FAQ's Related to Rheumatologist

A Rheumatologist specialises in the diagnosis and treatment of autoimmune, inflammatory, and musculoskeletal disorders affecting the joints, muscles, bones, and connective tissues. They help manage chronic conditions, reduce pain, and improve mobility and quality of life.

Common conditions include rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), ankylosing spondylitis, psoriatic arthritis, gout, vasculitis, Sjögren's syndrome, connective tissue diseases, and other autoimmune disorders.

You should consult a Rheumatologist if you experience persistent joint pain, swelling, morning stiffness lasting more than 30 minutes, unexplained muscle pain, fatigue, recurrent gout attacks, or symptoms suggestive of an autoimmune disease, such as rashes, dry eyes, or joint inflammation.

Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic autoimmune disease in which the immune system mistakenly attacks the joints, causing pain, swelling, stiffness, and progressive joint damage. Early diagnosis and treatment can help slow disease progression and preserve joint function.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune condition that can affect multiple organs, including the joints, skin, kidneys, heart, lungs, and nervous system. Symptoms vary widely and require specialised evaluation and long-term management.
