Caro,

you probably eed to see an orthopaedics specialists as tey are the

joint injury specialists. You may need to see your GP first to get a

referral and initial testing (i.e x-rays etc) and so that you have

some documentation of what was going on while it was hurting incase

the pain subsides.

Good Luck
