See doc first: The first step is to see a doctor for an exam. Based on that evaluation appropriate tests for arthritis can be ordered.

Perhaps: A history and physical examination is important. Some types of arthritis will show up in blood tests, but some do not. X-rays are commonly used for diagnosis, but ct and MRI are used in some cases.
