Specializes in Pain Management

See your doc: Your very brief description suggests a rheumatologic or arthritic condition. Depending on your age there are varying differential diagnosis for your symptoms. Have yourself checked by your primary care physician and if needed a referral to a specialist like a rheumatologist may be made.
