Appointment prep
Prepare for a rheumatoid arthritis evaluation
Symmetrical joint pain, morning stiffness, and systemic symptoms are frequently attributed to overuse or aging. Medvo helps you capture the pattern and request early rheumatology referral and serology.
Symptoms patients describe
- · Morning stiffness lasting >1 hour
- · Swollen, warm joints in hands, wrists, feet
- · Fatigue and low-grade fevers
Tests & referrals to request
Framed as evaluation — your clinician decides what is appropriate.
- · RF, anti-CCP, CRP, ESR
- · Referral to rheumatologist for early DMARD discussion
- · X-rays or ultrasound of affected joints
If you've been dismissed
- · Blamed on 'carpal tunnel' or 'typing too much'
- · No serology ordered despite classic symptoms
