🗣️ Are those new arthritis treatments you see on TV really better than the old ones?

Here’s the truth:

Many of the newer medications — like biologics and JAK inhibitors — are designed to target the immune system more precisely.

That can mean better control of inflammation and fewer side effects for some patients.

But “new” doesn’t always mean “better” for everyone.

The best treatment is the one that works for your type of arthritis, your health history, and your lifestyle — not just what’s trending on TV.

Always ask:
✅ Is this the right medication for my condition?
✅ Have I had the right diagnosis and workup?
✅ What are the long-term risks and benefits?

🎯 Want a personalized plan instead of hype?

What Is Arthritis?

Ever wondered what arthritis really is and why so many people suffer from it?

Arthritis is not just one disease.

It actually refers to over 100 different conditions that affect your joints. But most types fall into two main categories: degenerative and inflammatory.

Degenerative arthritis, like osteoarthritis, is caused by wear and tear of the joints over time.

Inflammatory or autoimmune arthritis, like rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis or lupus, happens when your immune system attacks your own joints by mistake.

Knowing the difference is key to finding the right treatment and getting relief.

Follow me for more clear answers about arthritis and tag someone who needs to understand their joint pain better.

🧠 Think you know everything about arthritis? Think again.

There are so many myths out there that keep people stuck in pain, frustration, and confusion.

In fact, I hear these every week from new patients who believed arthritis was just about "getting older" or that "nothing can really help."

In this video, I’ll reveal 5 of the most common myths about arthritis — and why believing them could be stopping your progress.

Hit play and let’s bust these myths so you can finally get the answers (and relief) you deserve.

Is arthritis 🧬 Is arthritis genetic? Can you really inherit joint pain?

The answer is: yes… but it’s more complex than you think.

Some types of arthritis — like rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, or ankylosing spondylitis — have a strong genetic component. That means if a close family member has it, your risk may be higher.

But genes alone don’t decide your future. Lifestyle, environment, infections, and immune triggers all play a role in whether those genes are “switched on.”

That’s why early awareness and prevention matter. If joint pain runs in your family, it’s time to pay attention to the signs before damage begins.

Why Is It So Hard to Get a Rheumatologist Appointment?

🗣️ Ever wonder why getting an appointment with a rheumatologist can take weeks or even months?

Here’s why:

1️⃣ There are too few rheumatologists compared to the growing number of patients with autoimmune and arthritis conditions.
2️⃣ Rheumatology requires specialized training — so not many doctors focus in this field.
3️⃣ Complex cases take time — each patient needs a detailed evaluation, labs, and often imaging.
4️⃣ Insurance barriers and referral processes can slow things down.

That’s why Rheumatologist OnCall offers fast, flexible virtual visits — so you can get expert care when you need it.
