  • Hello,
    for tendon or ligament pain or arthritis in the knee, I recommend consulting an orthopedic specialist or a rheumatologist. Orthopedic doctors assess injuries and structural issues, while rheumatologists focus on inflammatory conditions like arthritis.
    Your general practitioner can help guide you to the right specialist and may suggest further tests like an X-ray or MRI. Physiotherapy is also a great option to reduce pain and improve mobility.

    1. Orthopedic Specialist:
    • These doctors specialize in the musculoskeletal system, including bones, joints, tendons, ligaments, and muscles. They can diagnose and treat conditions like arthritis, tendonitis, or ligament injuries.

  • Good evening,

    All musculo-skeletal associated problems are the area of expertise of an orthopedic specialist. They will examine you and provide you with further information concerning a treatment. You can consult a specialist by taking an appointment directly or you can first pass by your general practitioner who will refer you to a specialist after examination.

    Hoping to have you provided with enough information, good luck with the next steps.

    Kind regards.
