You should consider scheduling a consultation with a rheumatologist if you experience any of the following conditions:
If you experience persistent joint pain, inflammation, stiffness, or swelling in the joints.
Chronic muscle pain, especially if associated with fatigue or weakness, may indicate rheumatic disorders that require the attention of a rheumatologist.
If you have autoimmune symptoms such as skin rashes, fever, extreme fatigue, or inflammation in various parts of the body, a rheumatologist can assess whether there is a connection to autoimmune diseases.
