Question
In the past three years I have had pain in the bak of my left shoulder.  I went to a chirporacter and now I have pain in my left hip and I still have pain in by shoulder.  I have to tighten my hip to fell better.  And my shoulder has a crackling sound when I make a circle with my arm.  What should I do and what is the medical term for a shoulder specialist or a  hip specialist.  I should also mention that I went to a orthopedic and they basically sent me to a phyiscall therpaost, which I tried and it did no good.  Where should I go from here and what is the name of a hip and shoulder specialist?  Thank you  

Answer
An orthopedic doctor is the correct term for a specialist of the shoulder, hip, or any other kind of bone.  It sounds like you've seen one already.  

At this point, I might consider seeing an osteopath, a doctor that has general practice training but specializes in body manipulation similar to chiropractors.  I believe that you would get a good overall review of your condition and an appropriate treatment to relieve the pain.

Thank you for your question, Kays.  I hope that my answer points you toward some relief.
