Hi Anon,

An Orthopedist is a doctor who specializes in bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, muscles, and nerves. If you are having bone pain then this may be the best type of doctor for you. On the other hand, if you have a history of Arthritis, then you may want to visit a doctor in the sub-specialty field of Rheumatology.

Hope this helps,

Rosa
