Which doc should i go see for herniated disc?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
A spine specialist: Could be a physiatrist, a pain management specialist (usually an anesthesiologist) or an orthopedist. But see someone who's interested in fixing the problem.

Yes: See your pcp first. You may need to get an MRI to evaluate this spine pain and possibly evaluation from spine/pain specialist.
