I recommend consulting a rheumatologist to get a handle on what could be onset of rheumatoid arthritis. Appropriate testing will be ordered and proper treatment options reviewed.

Yes. Your symptoms warrant a visit to a doctor, preferably to a rheumatologist, though you may start with your primary care provider for an initial assessment and laboratory tests. Wish you good health!
