Have Pain In The Back, Shoulders. Advised For Neck Surgery. What Type Of Doctor To Visit?
I was injured at my work doing repeated motions, My right side of the back is very muscular and giving me a great deal of pain ( i'm right handed.) the shoulder blade area is what is giving me the most grief but the doctors I have been referred to want to do neck surgery. What type of doctor do I look for that deals with middle of the back.

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
Since there has been an injury, the pain is likely to be related to a spine problem. An MRI scan will help in detecting the extent of injury you have suffered. You can consult a neurosurgeon for the same.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. You can consult me again directly through my profile URL http://bit.ly/Dr-Praveen-Tayal
