Dr. Amogh Sahai answered

Specializes in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation

Depends: Different clinicians will have certain bias as to whom you should see first. My recommendation is to get evaluated by someone well versed in the musculoskeletal system. This could include a physiatrist, rheumatologist, or orthopedic doctor.
