Hi Melissa,
The surgeon is recommending a consultation with an orthopedic surgeon to try to determine the cause of the pain. Sometimes, a physician who specializes in another field of medicine is called in to offer his knowledge and expertise to make a diagnosis. Make the appointment with the orthopedic surgeon, I am sure the breast surgeon can recommend one to you. When you have an acute episode of the pain call your doctor right away so that you can be seen right away.
