The primary difference between rheumatology and orthopaedic is the pain that you experience. Rheumatology deals with pain caused by autoimmune diseases. In contrast, orthopaedics deals with pain directly related to the musculoskeletal system, such as broken bones, torn ligaments, damaged cartilage, etc.
