Probably a sports medicine doctor. And that's going to come at a premium.
If you cant afford it, the best you can do is learn as much as you can on your own and find a doc who wont misdiagnose you or put you on meds you dont need. Basically if you dont have the money, you have to be your own advocate. Doubly so if you dont have the money.
Ive met some really fucking stupid doctors and I know for a fact Im not the only one here with this experience. My primary care is competent but the PCs where I go come and go for obvious reasons. I try to keep in touch with specialists (Endo, Derm, etc) so I can ask them what their opinion is by dropping names before I even get seen.

This leads to a good question I'm currently struggling with.....How do you find a non-retarded doctor that can support your bodybuilding from a place of intelligence and not complete ignorance? I've stumbled upon what I had in the past, and I know longer have access to that person AND no longer go to any sort of commercial gym where I can pick people's brains.
