What tests are able to detect artheritis?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

History and physical: There is no routine screening test for arthritis. There are over one hundred different types of arthritis. Doctors look for arthritis if patients have joint pain. All investigations start with a thorough history and physical examination. More specific tests are ordered afterwards.
