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.
Patients might need a rheumatologist if they have: 1  Pain involving many joints. 2  New joint pain not associated with any injury. 3  Joint or musculoskeletal pain associated with morning stiffness, fever, fatigue, rash or chest pain.  Joint pain that followed a tick 1  bite. Joint pain associated with back pain.  Joint pain and psoriasis.
Some rheumatologists are trained in both. After residency, they must enroll in a rheumatology fellowship for two to three years to learn about chronic musculoskeletal and autoimmune conditions and their treatment. Rheumatologists then take a board examination to become board certified in rheumatology. This certification/exam has to be retaken every 10 years.
