What Kind Of Physician To Go To

This is off topic but there's not much traffic on the other forums. Hope someone can help. Approx 5 years ago I pulled my lower abdominal muscles/ligaments helping lift a heavy object. I've mentioned this to my Internist every time I've had an appointment with him for the last 5 years. He will press on my abdomen & basically dismiss it as nothing. I've asked for ultrasound or some test that might show what my injury is & he says testing does not show these type injuries. I'm to the point that even the slightest movement starts the pain & lifting anything is out of the question. I'm on Medicare & must be referred to a specialist which my Internist doesn't do unless I ask him.

What kind of physician do you think I should see for a diagnosis? It's not an orthopedic problem. I would at least like to know what I'm dealing with.

Thanks for your help.
