Do I need a second opinion to confirm rheumatoid arthritis diagnosis?

Johns Hopkins Medicine answered:The need for a second opinion of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) diagnosis is a very personal matter. You need to feel comfortable with your physician and treatment plan. If you are not, then seek a second opinion. When getting your second opinion, involve the doctor who gave you the original diagnosis to make sure the doctor providing the second opinion has all the necessary information.
