If the costs for transporting the body of the deceased seem too expensive and you wish not to incur that level of expense to repatriate your loved oneâs remains, you may wish to consider a cremation at the place of death. The cremated remains can then be shipped back home at a reduced cost.
Rheumatologists are physicians who specialize in the diagnosis and management of disorders related to joints, muscles, and other connective tissue. They are non-surgical musculoskeletal disease experts who deliver treatment through medication therapy, joint injections, rehabilitation, and patient education.
It can make a difference in how your RA goes. These doctors treat arthritis and other problems of the joints, bones, and muscles. If you donât have one, ask your regular doctor for a referral. You can also look on your insurance plan âs list of providers. Or check the website of the American College of Rheumatology (click on âFind a Rheumatologist). Your rheumatologist will: 1  Do joint exams to look for swelling and changes in strength or how well the joint moves. 2  Give you X-rays and blood tests. 3  Give you a questionnaire at least twice a year about what you can do.
