Myopathy?

Does the rheumatologist work a patient up for myopathy causes? Can a neuromuscular doctor do the same? I have appointments coming up for both. My neurologist suggested I see the NM doctor. In these articles it looks like a rheumy might do work up and muscle biopsy ?? I’m a bit confused.

It's understandable to be confused. Hoping you can get some answers at your upcoming appointments. Do you write out your questions for the doctors before your appointments? I do that so I don't forget to ask in the heat of the moment. If you haven't tried it before, here's a good site with information that might be helpful:
