Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Rheumatologic care with Dr. Sukhraj Singh:

What is a rheumatologist and how can they help me?

A rheumatologist is a doctor who specializes in diagnosing and treating conditions affecting the joints, muscles, and connective tissues, like arthritis. They work with you to manage chronic conditions, prevent further joint damage, and improve your overall well-being.

What is the difference between osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis?

Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease, often called "wear and tear," where cartilage breaks down over time. Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease where the body's immune system mistakenly attacks the joints. Dr. Singh's role is to accurately diagnose the cause of joint pain to ensure the proper treatment is provided.

What are biologic medications and how do they work?

Biologic medications are a modern class of advanced medications derived from living sources. They work by targeting very specific parts of the immune system that cause inflammation, rather than suppressing the whole system, making them a powerful tool to prevent joint damage and preserve function.

How is an autoimmune disease diagnosed?

Diagnosing an autoimmune disease is like solving a puzzle. We carefully review your symptoms, conduct a thorough physical exam, and order specific blood tests to look for autoantibodies and markers of inflammation. This process is crucial to understanding your condition and developing a plan to prevent disease progression.

Can diet and exercise really help my arthritis?

Absolutely. While diet and exercise can't cure arthritis, they are powerful tools for prevention. An anti-inflammatory diet can help manage symptoms, and low-impact exercise strengthens supporting muscles, preventing further strain and improving mobility.

Are steroid injections into a joint safe?

Yes, corticosteroid injections into a joint are generally safe and effective when performed by a rheumatologist. They are a valuable tool to quickly reduce inflammation and pain, allowing for improved physical therapy and daily activities during flare-ups. Our practice uses them judiciously to manage symptoms.

What does it mean if my ANA (Antinuclear Antibody) test is positive?

A positive ANA can be a marker for an autoimmune disease, but it's not a definitive diagnosis on its own. A rheumatologist will consider your full medical history, symptoms, and other test results to determine if you have an autoimmune condition and to avoid any unnecessary anxiety.

What does a joint aspiration (arthrocentesis) do?

A joint aspiration (arthrocentesis) is a procedure where a specialist uses a needle to remove excess fluid from a swollen joint, providing immediate pain relief from pressure. The collected fluid is then analyzed to diagnose the cause of the swelling, like gout crystals or infection, which is essential for preventing future problems.
