I take care of an elderly man who is having hip and back pain. Should he see a rhematologist, or is there another doctor that would be more appropriate?
Start out with a generalist or internist. They should be capable of initiating the workup and therapy on their own. If they find they need help they can refer to a rheumatologist after the initial workup is done, thus saving some money and resources.
