Joint pain and swelling are fairly common complaints, but they shouldn’t have to be. Rheumatic diseases affect your joints, tendons, ligaments, bones and muscles. One of the most common issues is arthritis, which causes pain and swelling in your joints. The doctor who specializes in these issues is called a rheumatologist.
