Arthritis symptoms are most commonly found in the joints of the body and will vary depending on which type of arthritis you have. Dr. Ilya Rachman MD at Rachman Medical Group can help you determine if you have arthritis based on your symptoms, a physical exam and additional tests as needed. We will first get your medical and family history, as arthritis can run in the family, and then perform a physical exam to better understand your symptoms. Symptoms of arthritis can include stiffness, pain, swelling, redness and a decreased range of motion in the affected joint or joints. Dr. Ilya Rachman MD may be able to make a diagnosis from there or may request additional tests to confirm the diagnosis. Additional tests could include laboratory tests on blood, urine or joint fluid to help pinpoint exactly which type of arthritis you are dealing with, or they may use an imaging test option such as an x-ray, CT scan, MRI or ultrasound depending on the joint.
