Hi Will,

Yes, I think you should see a doctor. What kind may depend on what kind of damage (and symptoms) you have. If you live in/near a decent size metropolitan area, see if your hospitals have a spine center; they're often/usually multidisciplinary (orthopedic, neurology, physiatry...whatever).

If not, a discussion with your PCP may guide you.

I'd get started asap; it can take some time to get in to some of these centers/doctors. I can't say for sure, but in my case it was 2 months before I could see somebody.

Doc
