Hello, for tendon or ligament pain and arthritis in the knee, it’s best to consult a general practitioner. They can assess your situation, provide a precise diagnosis, and, if needed, refer you to a physiotherapist for tailored treatment.

For tendon/ligament pain and arthritis in the knee, the best type of doctor to consult is:
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.
2. Sports Medicine Doctor:
• If your pain is related to physical activity or sports, a sports medicine doctor can offer non-surgical treatments, rehabilitation plans, and advice on preventing further injury.
3. Rheumatologist:
• For arthritis, particularly if it’s inflammatory (e.g., rheumatoid ar...thritis or gout), a rheumatologist specializes in autoimmune and joint conditions and can provide comprehensive care.
4. Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R) Specialist:
• Also known as physiatrists, these doctors focus on non-surgical treatments to improve function and reduce pain in musculoskeletal conditions.

Hello,
If you’re unsure where to start, a primary care physician can assess your symptoms and refer you to the appropriate specialist. Meer lezen

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.
