I would not wait for a Doctors appointment. I would go to an urgent care and they will tell you what they think might be happening and will direct you the the type of Doctor you should see. Then when you do call the Doctor tell them you live alone and you tell them that urgent care and said you need to see a Doctor ASAP. Also tell them that if they have a cancellation you will take it. You want to make sure nothing serious is going on besides the arthritis.
