Yes. You really should get a diagnosis from a rheumatologist. A rheumatologist can rule out a diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis by determining a patient's sedimentation rate. Rheumatologists also have extensive experience dealing with patients who complain of "pain all over".

But there is also another reason for getting a fibromyalgia diagnosis from a rheumatologist. Rheumatologists report fibromyalgia is one of their most common diagnosis, while internists and general practitioners often under report fibromyalgia, or fail to adequately comprehend a patient's fibromyalgia-like symptoms.
