Which specialist doctor is needed to be contacted ?

Hi, to which specialist should I contact for diagonising a pain on upper bit of my backache, which is there since closing 20-25 days.
I am not able to sleep properly due to throbbing on my back i.e. between arms.
and also due to dry cough, i return with pain on the right side, i.e. may be lungs...and at duplicate time at the back as mentioned.
Please suggest me a physician ? The combination of unresolved upper wager on pain near cough could be due any number of problems. These may include muscle strain with a recent cold, slipped disc, pneumonia, TB, to malignancy.
You should start by seeing your primary doctor. If required, he can refer you to the appropriate specialist.
First of all, next to most insurances, you need to run and see your PCP (primary care physician) first.and you will involve a referral to go and see a specialist.
If you regard it's your lungs...then ask the PCP to directive a chest x-ray.
Your PCP can tell you which specialist you necessitate to see after he does his part of the exam...which will probably include blood work, and a chest x-ray...if everything shows up run of the mill, then you will not requirement to see a specialist...the problem can and will be taken care of by the primary precision doc.
I would start with the loved ones doctor- who probably has see this type of issue before. He will charge tests/xrays and be able to refer you to the right specialist base on ther results.
