I'm feeling pretty confused and a bit worried about this pain I've got going on. It started in my arms and now it's spread to my neck and shoulders. I'm not sure who I should reach out to firstshould I go to a general physician, a pain specialist, a physiotherapist, or an orthopedist? Any guidance would be much appreciated.
