Pain in multiple joints (polyarthralgia)
that disappears with physical activity
should be checked by a rheumatologist.
Several diagnostic procedures should be
done: standard blood analyses (blood
count, sedimentation…), rheum factor,
ANA, X-ray image of the painful joints
etc. in order to diagnose the condition.
