Answer 1

Primary care: Start with a primary care provider as she/he can orde the appropriate test. Wish you good health!

Leg work: You really have to check yourself by talking to people. Don't take one or two peoples advice for something that important.

Answer 6

That depends on-: -the ego of the person. Some ortho surges feel insulted, I have seen them then refuse 2 C U again, or B hostile if U do so.

They will ask you why you are seeing the doctor. The doctor will ask some of the same questions and examine you. You may get x-rays, medicine, therapy or injections. Don't leave without a diagnosis, follow-up and all of your ?'s answered.
