Q: What does a Rheumatologist do?
A: A rheumatologist is an internal medicine specialist who has further training in diagnosing and treating "invisible" autoimmune diseases and musculoskeletal conditions that are not caused by physical injury.
Q: Is Rheumatology only about "old age" arthritis?
A: No. While some joint issues are age-related, many autoimmune conditions like Rheumatoid Arthritis or Lupus can affect people of any age, including children and young adults.
Q: What is the difference between an Orthopedic surgeon and a Rheumatologist?
A: An Orthopedic surgeon focuses on surgical solutions for bone and joint injuries. A Rheumatologist focuses on medical, non-surgical treatment for chronic inflammatory and autoimmune diseases that affect the joints.
Q: What are "Biologics" in rheumatology?
A: Biologics are a modern class of medications made from living cells. They are designed to target specific parts of the immune system that cause inflammation, offering relief to patients who do not respond to traditional medications.
Q: Why are my blood tests normal if my joints still hurt?
A: Autoimmune diseases can be complex. Sometimes, inflammation does not show up immediately in basic blood tests. Our specialists use clinical exams and advanced imaging (Ultrasound/MRI) to reach a diagnosis even when labs are inconclusive.
Q: Can diet affect my arthritis?
A: Yes. While diet alone cannot cure autoimmune disease, anti-inflammatory diets can help manage symptoms. We provide nutritional guidance to complement your medical treatment.
Q: How is Gout different from other types of arthritis?
A: Gout is caused by a buildup of uric acid crystals in the joints, often starting in the big toe. It causes sudden, intense pain and is highly manageable with the right medication and lifestyle changes.
Q: Will I have to take medication for the rest of my life?
A: Many rheumatological conditions are chronic, but the goal at Gifted Hands Hospital is "Remission" — a state where you have little to no symptoms. Once reached, we work to find the lowest possible dose of medication to keep you healthy.
