And I'd suggest you take it to a shop to get this work done - if you're not a bike-mechanic. You may need your derailleur-hanger aligned. The RD cleaned and lubed. You freewheel/cassette and chain replaced. And the wheel(s) inspected for hub-problems, etc.

If you can do this and know your stuff - Tally Ho! If not - go to a good bike-shop.

Derailleurs get blamed for a lot of problems that originate somewhere else. Derailleurs are some of the most dependable components on a bike.
DMF said it right.
