Appointment prep
Prepare for a reactive arthritis evaluation
Joint pain, eye inflammation, and urinary or GI symptoms following an infection are often not connected. Medvo helps you document the triad and request rheumatology evaluation — framed as evaluation, never diagnosis.
Symptoms patients describe
- · Painful, swollen joints (often knees, ankles, feet) weeks after infection
- · Eye inflammation (conjunctivitis or uveitis), urinary symptoms
- · Skin rashes or mouth sores, fatigue
Tests & referrals to request
Framed as evaluation — your clinician decides what is appropriate.
- · Referral to rheumatologist; testing for triggering infections if indicated
- · Discussion of NSAIDs, DMARDs, or biologics for persistent symptoms
- · Ophthalmology and urology input as needed
If you've been dismissed
- · Symptoms treated separately (joints as 'injury', eyes as 'infection')
- · No recognition of post-infectious autoimmune pattern
