My rheumatologist has not only diagnosed my arthritis, he has done wonders with treating it. See a rheumatologist. Good luck to you.

A Family Practice M.D., probably could. The name of the specialist you're trying to remember is an Orthopedic Specialist.
If that is diagnosed, I think there is an arthritis organization, that puts out a magazine with helpful hints and tips of how to best take care of arthritis. I'm sure you could find this group on the
internet.

Our family doctor diagnosed arithritis in my husband's hands and knees. She also prescribed the proper medication to slow the arthritis down.

My primary care doctor diagnosed mine. So, I would say a family practitioner, Internest, Orthopod, etc.

Almost any doctor can, and if not they will refer you to another doctor. They probably know a specialist in your area that doesn't misdiagnose.

They didn't suggest anything for pain. Or a pain cream to put on the area? Looks like something could be done for your discomfort.

Any doctor should. A doctor who can't shouldn't be a doctor.
