[OT medical Question] what specialist should I see, an Orthopedist? Rheumatologist?

[cbelt3]

Shoulder injury or pain... the possible causes are myriad in nature. I'd agree that a good General Practitioner would be a good start. Unless it's an injury, there are other things that happen that lead to a diagnosis. Except on TV, of course.

If it's an injury, I'd start with a sports medicine specialist. They're awesome with shoulders and knees.
