Medical Issue-What Would You Do?

I'm not sure if I should go see my family practice dr or make an appt with rheumatologist or back to podiatrist. I had been treated by podiatrist since I had broken some bones in foot and still had pain. He said he thought I had some tendonitis and a little arthritis in foot and put me on anti-inflammatory, which I'm not taking any longer due to hair loss. I've just been taking arthritis strength tylenol or advil as needed. Here's the issue, while I still have the issue with my feet; I also have joint pain in knees and hips occasionally as well as shoulder and wrists. So, I'm suspecting some arthritis or even fibro. Should I go see my family practice or go right to rheumatologist?
