I was diagnosed by my PCP in March and my first appt with my rheumatologist is in 2 weeks. More tests? Thanks!

My PCP did all of the diagnostic tests before sending me to rheumatology. My appointment was for confirmation of symptoms and official diagnosis. I see him again in June. He added Naprosen to my meds.
