A member asked:
Going to orthopedic for leg pain & he's looking at my back, which is understandable.am i going to the right doctor for ongoing severe leg pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Right doctor: The answer really depends on whether the doctor does spine or not. Also I assume he has ruled out a true orthopedic cause in the leg (knee/hip/long bones). If he does not do spine then yes you with the wrong doctor.
