Joint pain does not always mean osteoarthritis.

Similar symptoms can occur with rheumatoid arthritis, gout, psoriatic arthritis, lupus, ankylosing spondylitis and other inflammatory or autoimmune diseases. Some conditions may also affect the skin, muscles, eyes, lungs, kidneys or other organs.

Dr. Saurabh Chahande takes a comprehensive approach to understand:

• What is causing your symptoms
• Whether inflammation is present
• Which joints or organs may be involved
• Whether investigations are required
• What treatment is appropriate
• How the disease should be monitored over time

The goal is not simply to control pain, but to identify the underlying disease, control inflammation, preserve function and improve long-term outcomes.

Consider seeing a rheumatologist if you have:

• Persistent joint pain
• Swollen joints
• Prolonged morning stiffness
• Pain affecting multiple joints
• Recurrent episodes of joint inflammation
• Back pain with significant morning stiffness
• Recurrent attacks of severe joint pain
• Psoriasis with joint pain or swelling
• Unexplained muscle weakness
• Recurrent fever associated with joint symptoms
• Skin rashes along with joint problems
• Dry eyes or dry mouth with other symptoms
• An abnormal autoimmune blood test
• Suspected autoimmune or connective tissue disease

Persistent or recurrent symptoms deserve evaluation rather than repeated self-treatment with painkillers.

There are many different causes of joint pain.

For example:

Knee pain ≠ always osteoarthritis

Joint swelling ≠ always gout

Positive ANA ≠ automatically lupus

Back pain ≠ always a slipped disc

Psoriasis + joint pain ≠ just skin disease

The distinction matters because different rheumatic diseases require different approaches to treatment and monitoring.

A rheumatologist evaluates the overall clinical picture, rather than relying on a single symptom or blood test.

Your symptoms, duration, pattern of pain, stiffness, swelling and associated problems are assessed.

Joints, muscles and other relevant systems are examined for signs of inflammation or systemic disease.

Existing blood tests, X-rays, ultrasound, MRI and other reports are reviewed when relevant.

Investigations are selected according to the clinical findings and suspected diagnosis.

Treatment is planned according to the specific rheumatic condition, disease activity and individual requirements.

Many inflammatory and autoimmune diseases require regular assessment to monitor disease activity, treatment response and safety.

A rheumatologist diagnoses and manages diseases involving the joints, muscles, bones, immune system and connective tissues. These include inflammatory arthritis, autoimmune diseases, gout and several systemic rheumatic conditions.

If joint pain is persistent, recurrent or associated with swelling, prolonged morning stiffness or other systemic symptoms, a rheumatology evaluation may be appropriate.

Orthopaedic specialists primarily manage structural and surgical conditions of the musculoskeletal system. Rheumatologists specialise in non-surgical management of inflammatory, autoimmune and systemic rheumatic diseases.

Yes. Rheumatoid arthritis can often be effectively controlled with appropriate treatment. Early recognition and treatment are important to reduce inflammation and help prevent joint damage.

Gout is manageable. Long-term treatment may be recommended for people with recurrent attacks or other indications to reduce urate levels and prevent future crystal formation and complications.

Not necessarily. ANA is an important test in appropriate clinical situations, but a positive result by itself does not establish a diagnosis. It needs to be interpreted with symptoms, examination and other relevant investigations.

Yes. Some autoimmune rheumatic diseases can affect the skin, eyes, muscles, lungs, kidneys, nerves and other organs.

New, persistent or recurrent joint swelling—especially when accompanied by morning stiffness or multiple affected joints—should be evaluated to determine the cause.

Yes. Children can develop inflammatory arthritis, including juvenile idiopathic arthritis, and early specialist assessment can be important.

Persistent joint pain, swelling, stiffness or unexplained autoimmune symptoms should not be ignored.
