Rheumatologist: It would be better to seek consultation with a rheumatologist and let her/him decide on the tests that may be suitable for your clinical circumstance. For information about tests and other issues see this site. http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/000435.htm

ANA: The ANA is the test you need. If the ANA is negative guidelines strongly recommend that no further testing is necessary.
