Please Recommend A Traumatologia Specialist

[Agenda]

I need to find such a specialist, not sure how to name him/her in English. Leg problem, it hurts very often, but the doctor in McCormich just did radiografia, said nothing broken. But it's not the only reason for pain... Maybe you know a good doctor and can recommend? Would be very much appreciated.

Can it be a lower spine problem?

I would go to see Dr Suthee at his evening clinic on the superhighway, opposite Wat Jet Yod. Go early (5pm) to get in the queue, and then he starts seeing patients around 6pm. He's a US board-trained orthopaedic surgeon and has treated many backs, feet, hands and legs that I know of, all extremely professionally. X-ray and physiotherapy services available there too.

AFAIK the clinic phone number is still 053 214139.

Sawasdee Khrup, Khun Agenda,

Certainly won't hurt to go see an orthopedic doctor, like Dr. Suthee, as recommended here to you. But if you just saw an orthopedic doctor at McCormick : consider seeing a good General Practitioner like Dr. Tawitchai on Loy Kroh to help you clarify what type of specialist you should see next. That visit will be inexpensive and may save you time and money.

There can be so many causes of leg pain, and you haven't given any specifics. Maybe by using the term "traumatologia" you are hinting there was a specific injury, like an accident ? Sciatica, peripheral neuropathy, gout, circulatory impairment, "restless leg" syndrome : the possibilities are numerous, and you need some expert advice to get more specific.

Suggestion : take the X rays or whatever you had done at McCormick with you to the next doctor you see, GP or specialist.

Oh, thank you for removing offtopic comments (I didn't see them because I didn't get any email notification) and thanks to everybody for useful advices. I used this term only because I don't know the good one in English. I will certainly use Dr.Suthee services. Will try to go there today.

You should try to get there early if you don't like waiting. There are usually a lot of people there. With reason. Dr. Suttee is a remarkable doctor. My wife was in a motorcycle accident. got bad medical treatment at a very expensive medical center in Chiang Mai, but Dr. Suttee undid the damage inflicted elsewhere in short order.

cozumelito, I believe he is remarkable. Due to the rain, I couldn't come at 5, so I had to wait 2,5 hours yesterday before I saw the doctor. He seems to be very professional and to know his subject At least, the explanation was very detailed. He explained why the pain occurs, what to do to reduce and prevent it. Medicine + stretching technique + some ointment. Not cheap, but I guess, worth it. Thanks to everybody for recommending Dr.Suthee.
