Rheumatology deals with joint, muscle, bone and autoimmune conditions. Many of these problems can look simple in the beginning but may need specialist care when symptoms continue or repeat.
Pain, swelling and stiffness in small joints of hands, wrists or feet may be signs of rheumatoid arthritis. Early treatment can help control inflammation and protect joint function.
Commonly seen in knees, hips, hands and spine, osteoarthritis can cause pain, stiffness and difficulty in daily movement.
Patients with psoriasis may develop joint pain, swelling, back pain or finger/toe swelling. A rheumatologist can help diagnose and manage this condition.
Sudden severe pain, redness and swelling in the big toe, ankle or knee may be due to gout. Proper treatment can reduce repeated attacks.
Back stiffness in young adults, pain that improves with movement, and morning stiffness may need rheumatology evaluation.
Lupus can affect joints, skin, kidneys, blood, lungs and other organs. Early diagnosis and regular monitoring are important.
Dry eyes, dry mouth, fatigue and joint pain may be linked to autoimmune conditions such as Sjogren's syndrome.
Skin tightening, Raynaud's symptoms, acidity, breathing issues or joint pain may require specialist rheumatology care.
Muscle weakness, difficulty climbing stairs or lifting arms can sometimes happen due to inflammatory muscle disease.
Vasculitis is inflammation of blood vessels and may affect skin, nerves, kidneys, lungs or other organs.
Pain around shoulders, elbows, knees, hips or heels may be caused by tendon, ligament or soft tissue inflammation.
Long-term or recurring joint pain should not be ignored, especially when it is associated with swelling, stiffness or fatigue.
