If the pain is unilateral, consider seeing specialist, preferably a neurologist IMO. Going to an Orthopaedic Surgeon is like bringing a bucket of nails to a carpenter.
Well,neurologists specialize in disorders of the brain and spinal cord, headaches, difficulty with ambulation, which is not the problem here. They treat Alzheimer's, cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, etc.The OP's problems are not neurological but likely mecanical. But yes, orthopedic surgery does not want to see you unless you need surgery.
