I have arthritis in every joint is it recommended i see a rheumatologist?

Yes: You need a more precise diagnosis as rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis have very different potential outcomes. The treatments are also vastly different. With arthritis, you want to know what you can do to help yourself. The are many conditions (not just rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis) that fall under the term "arthritis."
