This is a tough one because you may have to see a few until someone
figures out if everything is related or you have multiple issues going
on. If the chiropracter thinks there is nerve damage Jen G may be right
about the neurologist. An orthopedist and rheumatologist also might be
a good idea. The orthopedist can figure out if it is skeletal/muscular
and possibly prescribe physical therapy. A rheumatologist can take a
look at connective tissue diseases and other issues like lupus and
fibromyalgia.
