Doctor can evaluate: Such symptoms can be further evaluated. One can start with a primary care doctor, who can refer to an orthopedic or orthopedic/spine doctor if necessary. A chest x-ray and lung exam may be needed. A physical medicine doctor may also be helpful, after problems with the lungs, heart, or their "linings" have been ruled out. "serious" pains can be an emergency, depending on the circumstances.
