When I had my knee problem, my family doctor immediately referred me to an ortheopedic surgeon (this is how things are done in Canada - a referral is required to see a specialist). I guess it's up to your family doctor whether he/she wants to first have an x-ray done and then refer you to a specialist based on a review of the x-ray. Sorry, I don't know things work in the U.S.
