Chelsea from Alberta asks: Can a rheumatologist diagnose Raynaud’s phenomenon and tell if it is primary or secondary?

This is a good reason to see a rheumatologist!  While primary Raynaud’s phenomenon is a relatively benign condition for most people, secondary Raynaud’s could be a result of an underlying rheumatic disease which can be successfully treated.  A rheumatologist is equipped to determine if it is primary or secondary, and make appropriate treatment recommendations in either case.
