Shoulder neck pain

2023-06-25 11:34:02
Hi, I am suffering from cervical pain that impacts from the left side of the neck through shoulder, arm till the elbow. Sitting or lying in incorrect posture for a few minutes or pulling up some weights is usually the reason for this pain. Even during the rest of the time I feel weakness and a little discomfort in the affected areas. To whom should I consult first. Should it be an orthopaedic doctor or a physiotherapist? Thanks
