A member asked:
Which specialist should i see if i have been having pains in my right elbow for a number of months?

A few possibilities: For elbow pains, one should see his primary care doctor first. That doctor may solve the problem. Otherwise, the doctor may refer one to a orthopedic (bone specialist) doctor for a bone or joint injury, to a rheumatologist (autoimmune specialist) doctor for a rheumatoid arthritis problem, or to both an orthopedic and infectious disease specialist if a bone or joint infection is suspected.

I agree: An orthopedist/sports medicine specialist would be a place to start. They will refer you to the appropriate discipline if warranted.
