Arthritis: Please start with a consult to the Rheumatologist. You will get better once the condition is recognized and approriate care given. Wish you well.

Primary care: Can assess you, order plain x rays and or other imaging and blood before you even have to be referred. Any board certified internal medicine physician should be able to make a basic diagnosis and manage you, unless your condition demands further treatment with surgery or a specialist. Good luck and feel better!
