Yes you need to go to your primary care physician who can then arrange for a consultation with a Orthopedic doctor. Sometimes a neuro surgeon can be an alternative to orthopedic specialist as either one of them can assess your spinal problems.

Since we do not have close to the familiarity or understanding of your history, we cannot second guess your doctor's advice. Would suggest you pursue the advice. If you wish a more comprehensive approach via a virtual consult, we can schedule this on the paid portion of our site (www.connect@healthtap.com)
