General & Family Physician 's  Response
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

An orthopedic doctor would be the best option. He or she would be able to assess the muscles and bones to see if there is a specific cause for your discomfort and treat accordingly.

A neurologist would mainly deal with neurological disorders- conditions affecting nerve function or structure.

I hope this helps
