You need to see your family Doctor first, and he(she)will determine the cause and refer you to either of them.

I would suggest you to see your PCP first. PCP will guide you who to see or what kind of work up you will need to find out the cause.

Knee pain should be taken care of. There is something causing pain. I do not want anything blocking our veins.
