Helen I. Keen is a Rheumatologist based in Murdoch, WA, at 11 Robin Warren Dr, Murdoch WA 6150. Rheumatology is about the joints, muscles, and some of the body’s immune system issues. Helen helps people when pain, swelling, stiffness, or ongoing inflammation doesn’t settle the usual way.
In many cases, patients are dealing with long-term conditions like arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis (RA), osteoarthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis. She also looks after problems that affect soft tissue around joints, such as tendon and tendon sheath inflammation (tenosynovitis) and similar issues that can keep coming back.
At times, symptoms can be linked to things like gout and calcium pyrophosphate arthritis. Some people also need help when there are signs of wider inflammation, including vasculitis, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), Sjogren syndrome, scleroderma, and inflammatory muscle problems like polymyositis and dermatomyositis.
Helen also sees patients with conditions that can be more urgent, for example giant cell arteritis (GCA) and polymyalgia rheumatica. Others may have unusual joint or tissue issues such as septic arthritis, infectious arthritis, or related complications. There are also less common causes of pain and swelling, including adult still’s disease and juvenile forms like juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA).
When needed, she helps with bone and health issues that often travel alongside these conditions, such as osteoporosis and postmenopausal osteoporosis. Some referrals involve dry eye or dry mouth, blood clot related problems, or other conditions that can affect daily life in a big way.
