Muscular and back pain
My dad is having pain in back and side muscles from past two weeks... He has tried pain killers and other gels to get rid of the pain and by also wearing the support belt on the back. Now i am curious to find the actual cause and wondering which doctor or deptt to consult for his problem. Should it be a MD or ortho??
