Osteoporosis
Arthritis
Both arthritic conditions may have similar symptoms and may affect the same joints. In their severe forms, the two can be quite disabling and result in joint destruction and deformities. The key distinguishing feature is that rheumatoid arthritis is an "inflammatory" arthritis. Patients with rheumatoid arthritis generally will have multiple visibly swollen, warm, and tender joints. They are particularly stiff in the morning and this stiffness can last for more than one hour. Osteoarthritis, on the other hand, is a "degenerative" arthritis and although patients can have joint swelling and morning stiffness, the severity of these symptoms are much less than that of individuals with rheumatoid arthritis.
Fibromyalgia
RA can be difficult to diagnose. Early on, the symptoms may be similar to many diseases including osteoarthritis, systemic lupus, and fibromyalgia. For this reason, patients suspected of having RA should be evaluated by a rheumatologist. Diagnosis is based on the patient’s complaints and findings on the physical examination. Tests such as a rheumatoid factor and an anti-CCP (cyclic citrullinated peptide) can be very helpful.
Rheumatology
Inland Rheumatology & Osteoporosis Medical Group was founded by the late Dr. Eugene P. Boling in 1986. Through the years, it has established a tradition of excellence in arthritis care, and the fine reputation of its physicians is known throughout Southern California. Each physician is board-certified / board-eligible by the American Board of Rheumatology. Our providers and the support staff are sensitive to the unique and disabling nature of an individual's illness. We strive to provide an environment that is caring, compassionate, and professional.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Fibromyalgia is a clinical syndrome defined by chronic widespread muscular pain, fatigue and tenderness. Often times, individuals with fibromyalgia will also have chronic fatigue, chronic headaches, irritable bowel syndrome, irritable bladder, cognitive and memory problems (often called "fibro fog"), temporomandibular joint disorder, pelvic pain, restless leg syndrome, sensitivity to noise and temperature, and anxiety and depression.
Diarrhea

Pelvic Pain

Kidney Stones
Some medications also can increase uric acid levels. Examples of such medications include moderate-dose aspirin (81 mg used for prevention of heart attack and stroke has minimal effect and can generally be continued), diuretics such as hydrochlorothiazide, and immunosuppressants used in organ transplantation such as cyclosporine and tacrolimus. With time, increased uric acid levels in the blood may lead to deposits of monosodium urate crystals in and around the joints. These crystals can attract white blood cells, leading to severe gout attacks. Uric acid also can deposit in the urinary tract, causing kidney stones.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Carpal tunnel syndrome is possibly the most common nerve disorder experienced today. The carpal tunnel is located at the wrist on the palm side of the hand just beneath the skin surface. Eight small wrist bones form three sides of the tunnel, giving rise to the name carpal tunnel. The remaining side of the tunnel is composed of soft tissues, consisting mainly of a ligament called the transverse carpal ligament. This ligament stretches over the top of the tunnel.

Endocrinologist

Diabetes Care
Hypothyroidism
A rheumatologist will usually send off tests to exclude other diagnoses such as hypothyroidism, polymyalgia rheumatica, rheumatoid arthritis, and lupus.
Thyroid
Carpal tunnel syndrome may be found in patients who are pregnant, overweight or have various medical conditions, including thyroid disease, diabetes or arthritis, or injuries such as wrist fractures. Whether repetitive work activities cause carpal tunnel syndrome is still controversial, but it is thought that some repetitive hand activities, especially those involving vibratory motion, can worsen the symptoms. Just as frequently, the syndrome occurs on its own.

Ultrasound
RA can be difficult to diagnose because it may begin with only subtle symptoms, such as achy joints or a little stiffness in the morning. Additionally, many diseases early on behave like RA. For this reason, patients suspected of having RA should be evaluated by a rheumatologist. X-rays can be very helpful in diagnosing RA, but may not show any abnormalities in the first 3–6 months of the arthritis. MRI and ultrasound are also being used more frequently to help detect the severity of RA.
MRI
A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of the spine to make pictures of soft tissues such as the spinal cord and the spinal nerves inside the back.
X-Rays
Computed Tomography
Regular visits with the rheumatologist are necessary to follow the course of the disease and monitor for any side effects related to medications. Regular blood tests and occasional X-rays or CT-scans are necessary as well to manage RA and medications effectively.

Ulcer
Acute attacks of gout are generally treated with colchicine and NSAIDs. Colchicine is most effective when used within 48 hours of an attack. Indomethacin and naproxen are NSAIDs commonly given. For patients who are unable to take NSAIDs (stomach ulcer, kidney disease, taking blood thinners), corticosteroids are an option. Resting the affected joint and applying cold compresses to the area also may help alleviate pain.
Psoriasis
Psoriatic arthritis is a form of arthritis associated with psoriasis, a chronic disease in which scaly red and white patches develop on the skin. Like rheumatoid arthritis, it results when the body's immune system goes into overdrive and attacks the joints, causing excessive inflammation.
