What Type Of Doctor Do I Need To See For Shoulder Pain?

My shoulder began hurting a few weeks ago, and I have limited range of motion right now. Most of the time it doesn’t hurt at all, but if I move it the wrong way it hurts very badly. I’m planning on going to the doctor, but I don’t know which type of doctor to see. I’ve never had this type of pain before, and I want to go to the right person. Thanks for the help.

I’m not sure what you have been through up to this point, but you may want to do some research on the subject. I have, due to friends who have had surgery and not made much progress. I have had a rotator cuff injury since December 2007, it has been several months and I haven’t quite gotten full range of motion back, but it is slowly getting better. I mainly exercise the shoulder and keep the swelling down by icing and using NSAIDs. Below is a link for you to use.
If you have decided on surgery, I wouldn’t worry about it, I’ve had several other surgeries and it’s not so bad. Do however make sure you stay on top of the pain, meaning take whatever pain reliever they give on time, every time, once you let the pain come back it will take longer to get it back under control. And if you find the pain killers they give you aren’t working well, ask for something better and tell them what you are taking isn’t working. Good Luck, hope you feel well soon.
