Does anyone know best place for a muscular problem. Is there someone in the general hospital in Girne. I suppose I need an x ray. I was thinking going there early Tuesday morning to miss the masses. Anyone know of the doctor name i should ask to see. Thanks in advance for any advice

You do not have to make an appointment just go to his clinic early in the morning, suggest 7.30 or 8am. You will be seen in order but he doesn't start seeing patients until somewhere between 9am and 10am. There are always lots of people waiting. You could go later but risk the chance of being turned away.
If you go to the state hospital you will just see whichever doctor is on that day for the particular speciality, probably orthopaedics in your case.
I had a similar problem to you a few years ago, sounds like torn tendon or rotator cuff injury. Anti inflammatory tablets like Cataflam may help.

I have similar problem with my upper arm shoulder.
Managed to see UK physio before I left UK. She gave me some exercises to do and recommended a good sports massage stating my problem was muscular.

Anyone know a good sports physio?
