Rheumatologist: Is the kind of dr. Your mother should see for detailed exam and blood work for inflammatory conditions that involve all the joints in the body.

Bone pain: She will need a full history and a comprehensive physical. Her doc should go over all body symptoms to make sure he's not missing a point. This may be plain age related arthritis (osteoarthritis) or a more complex problem.
