A member asked:
Should i pay for an orthopedic consultation, shoulder injury from motorbike 8 months, tried physio an has not helped, but my doctor still insists phsy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes and yes: Either an orthopedic or a non surgical musculoskeletal physician (physical med&rehab, or sports medicine) should evaluate. Continued joint/muscle pain for greater than 6 weeks related to trauma should be evaluated in detail by a specialist to try and avoid any long term complications of note treating an injury
