Yes : If your joints hurt , if is more that six weeks and you have inflammation , redness , stiffnes or increase in size then you need to see a rheumatologist . The rough skin in your elbows can be dryness or any skin disease . It has to be evaluated

Yes: Rough skin - sounds like psoriasis. See pits in any fingernails -- probably psoriasis. There is something called psoriatic arthritis --go see a specialist.
