How Can I Find A Rheumatologist That Will Give Me Resources For Mobility Issues?

A myRAteam Member asked a question 💭
Austell, GA

My Rheumatologist focus mostly on my pain level and I can't talk to him about other issues that are trigored due to having RA. I have Mobility Issues, Depression and Fatigue. He doesn't seem to care when I bring up the subject.

My rheumatologist is the same but I am lucky as my GP will listen and I feel more comfortable talking to him anyway. He write to my rheumatologist and tells him if I have any difficulties.

He should care and make note of other problems. He should recommend someone else to help you if he can't. I would ask him that. My primary care doctor overseas all my docs by recommending new specialists. They are all very busy so need your help by you asking questions. I did change doctors and found a woman doctor who cared about the pain and difficulties of RA and complications.
Hope this helps,
Sandy
