Musculoskeletal problems are the weakest link in medicine. If you have pain that is in any way related to a muscle, ligament or tendon problem, even the best medical specialists will be unable to help. This is because doctors are not trained to diagnose and treat these problems. The role of a medical doctor is to rule out serious causes of pain, such as fractures, cancers or other organic illness. In the vast majority of cases, pain is labeled 'mechanical' because no serious cause is found.
