Specializes in Orthopedic Reconstructive Surgery

Need eval by ortho: This may be osteitis pubis which can come from a variety of causes. An orthopedist should be able to start with X-ray and proceed from there. It is sometimes helped with physical therapy, but initial treatment is, unfortunately, rest and time.
