What kind of dr do you see for arthritis?
My knees have been hurting a lot lately, especially in the mornings. My neighbour said it sounds like arthritis, but I'm not sure which kind of doctor I should go to for this pain.

Oh, arthritis is such a pain, literally! I tried so many gharelu nuskhe, but ultimately, a rheumatologist is who you need. They specialize in joints and inflammatory conditions. It's best to get a proper diagnosis early on.
My son was diagnosed with juvenile arthritis, and we see a pediatric rheumatologist. For adults, it's a regular rheumatologist. They are the specialists for joint and connective tissue diseases. Please find a good one soon.
I'm worried I might have early arthritis symptoms. Is a rheumatologist definitely the first step? Did anyone else feel hesitant to go to a specialist right away, or like they should try something else first?
For arthritis? Haha, at my age, it feels like I'm seeing a new doctor every week! But seriously, a rheumatologist is the one for arthritis. They can help manage the pain and slow it down. Good luck, you'll need it!
My friend had severe arthritis, he goes to a rheumatologist. It's important to monitor these conditions closely. Also, don't forget that managing your overall health, like BP and sugar, makes a difference even for joint pain.
