just to give an anecdote. i played a lot of soccer, ran a lot and developed severe knee pain. my GP took xrays, couldn't see anything wrong, told me to rest. went to a sports medicine doc at same organization. looked at my xrays and instantly identified bone spurs. gave me exercises to strengthen muscles which solved the problem.
ruptured a disk in my back. My MD referred me to neurosurgeon who scheduled surgery. saw an ortho who told me surgery wasn't necessary. took that advice and fine 20 years later.
rule #1 on this board imho should be "DO NO HARM". my point is if you can afford it, find the best doc you can before you potentially do more harm. why risk it?
