A member asked:
On and off shoulder dull ache that comes an goes it can be fine for months then it comes on again. i've tried phsyio doesn't help. do i insist on seeing an orthopedic?

Orthopedic doctors are surgeons, so unless you have a need for surgery in your shoulder, then seeing one may not be useful. Not all pain is due to problems in the bones/muscles/tendons. But consider seeing a sports medicine specialist to rule this out once and for all.
