What exactly does a rheumatologist do for persons suffering from OA? I see a Pain Management specialist who is part of an Orthopaedic group so I feel I am getting the best possible care. Just wondering....

Dear Catrina,
Thanks for joining our community and submitting a SharePost.
This is a great question for Dr. Krant, and he will best be able to explain what a Rheumatologist does for those suffering form Osteoarthritis.
In the meantime, here is some information on what a Rheumatologist does.
Rheumatologists are clinicians specialized in the field of rheumatology, which requires four years of undergraduate school, four years of medical school and then postgraduate training. Rheumatologists have received additional training and experience in the diagnosis and treatment of arthritis and other diseases of the joints, muscles and bones.
I hope you find this helpful.
Best,
Katherine
