which dr. to go for a hand pain
An orthopedist is for bones and muscles. If nerves are involved, the doctor could call in a specialist that works strictly on hands/wrists and ankles (small bones and a lot of nerves). Hope this helps. He does need to see a doctor. If he doesn't go to a doctor he could end up with decreased use of the hand. Nothing to fool around with. AsYears ago when I cut the tip of my finger off, a regular doctor did not know anything as to how to treat the wound. He then referred me to a hand surgeon and wow what a difference.
