What doctor deals with arthritis?
My knees have been hurting quite a bit lately, especially in the mornings. My wife says it could be arthritis, like her mother has. I'm wondering, which kind of doctor specifically deals with arthritis issues?

My uncle had severe joint pain and swelling. We first went to an orthopedician, but they referred us to a rheumatologist who specializes in arthritis and autoimmune issues.

For initial joint pain, a general physician or an orthopedician is very easy to find and can guide you. They will write the basic blood tests and x-rays so you don't waste money running to big specialists directly.

You should consult a rheumatologist or orthopedician for arthritis. Along with their treatment, doing light walking or joint-friendly exercises really helps keep the stiffness away, if your doctor permits.
