Neurologist specialize in treating disorders of the nerves. Your orthopedic doctor specializes in treating disorders of bones and joints. Your ortho doc cannot find any clear cut reason for your ongoing symptoms. He is probably hoping that the neurologist can find something he missed. \nBe very thankful that you do not have any bulging discs. Some neurologists are very good at diagnosing and treating pain phenomena. They can perform never blocks to provide long term non-narcotic pain relief of some types of nerve pain and are better at prescribing medicine for nerve pain than most other doctors. ~~Gary RN

I think it depends on your health isurance.  If your insurance says you have to have a referral to a specialist then you need to go to the family doctor first.  If not, then I would go to an Orthaepedic doctor.  Ask around for a good one, try friends, or family.  Another good source would be someone who works quite closely with them.  For instance, I am an x-ray tech.  I have on many occasions reccommended a good orthaepedic doctor.  Tell your family doc to take an x-ray, you will kill two birds with one stone.  One, you'll find out if you could possibly have any arthritis or joint space narrowing and secondly, you'll be able to ask the tech.  Most of us are happy to spread the news of a good doc.  Unfortunately, there are several bad ones.  Be careful and good luck!!

Hi -\n\nAn orthopedist is a doctor who specializes in helping people who have a bone injury/disease.  You might want to check out the medical colleges - they'll be sure to list their prerequisites for admissions, and you'll be able to tell a lot from their web sites.  Good luck with your career.

I think your Dr. should send you for an xray. I hate it when they think that is what it is. Tell him you want an xray.

Never heard of anything like this in my practice before.  If you haven't already, see your OB.  If he/she doesn't know what it is then see a spine specialist.  Good luck.

Your doctor should be listening to you.  If you don't feel right, tell the doctor.  I switched doctors a year ago, was prescribed Armour and Synthroid(previously it was only Synthroid), and now she had added Cytomel(T3).  Find a doctor who will listen to you.  For a list of good doctors who will prescribe Armour......

If the chiropractor has not been helping she may need to seek treatment elsewhere.  Chiropractors have helped a lot of people, but so can massage therapists, physical therapists, and alternative treatments like acupuncture.  She should talk to an orthopedic doctor about her options.

Expect them to find a lot of "misallignment" and that you will need a lot of work.  They want you to come back again and again.  Many will prescribe non-approved herbal remedies since they cannot legally prescribe prescription drugs.\n\nPerhaps you need a real doctor, or maybe just a massage therapist.

You should find a new doctor, and report that one!

m henry,\n\nI have just reported Doc Armalite for abuse. I hope that you will do the same thing. In fact, I urge ANYONE reading this to also report him.  This is an extremely sick and dangerous man.\n\nPLEASE DO NOT TAKE THIS QUACKS ADVICE!!!  What he is reccomending is self-mulilation. Do NOT treat your genitals or any other part of your body  with battery, muratiac, or any other kind of acid.  \n\nThe problem you are describing needs to be treated by a "REAL" doctor, by conventinal methods.\n\nIF this man is a real doctor, (which I highly doubt!!!!), then he knows the Hipocratic Oath.  It states #1. DO NO HARM.  The advice he has given you here IS doing harm!!!!
