Primary care: I suggest that you start with a primary care physician. They can do the preliminary exam and testing and decide what is the best referral. For example, you may need physical therapy, orthopedics or rheumatology. Your primary care provider is the best one to sort this out.

Orthopedics: would be your best bet. Additionally, evaluation and treatment by a certified physical therapist.
