Geoffrey O. Littlejohn is a rheumatologist based at 246 Clayton Road, Clayton, VIC 3168, Australia. His work focuses on long-term conditions that affect the joints, muscles, and the body’s immune system, along with some ongoing pain problems that can be hard to explain or manage.
In many cases, people see him when they’re dealing with inflammatory arthritis, joint pain that keeps coming back, or stiffness that builds over time. That can include conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, psoriatic arthritis, and other forms of arthritis linked with inflammation. He also looks after people with autoimmune conditions such as systemic lupus erythematosus and vasculitis, where symptoms may involve more than just the joints.
Pain is a big part of his day-to-day work. He cares for patients with chronic pain and can also help where pain is linked to nerve or soft-tissue problems, such as complex regional pain syndrome and fibromyalgia. At times, he also supports people who have headaches and scalp pain that may relate to blood vessel conditions, including giant cell arteritis and temporal arteritis. Raynaud phenomenon is another concern he commonly deals with, especially when fingers or toes change colour in response to cold or stress.
He works with people who have health issues that can fit together in messy ways. For example, some patients have both pain and mood or stress-related impacts, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). There are also musculoskeletal conditions like diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis, as well as acute pain or flares that need careful review.
