So what you should do is that go on your internet search engine and look up a doctor that specializes in this. Or look for a pain specialist doctor.... hope this helps?!

What is good for one is not always good for the other. I find even within myself some hurts/ injuries need different treatments. I have built up a mass of little treatment for myself that help in different situations. I look at it that doctors can treat the diagnosis but it’s up to us to treat the day to day.
