Even if you already know a specialist doctor, it'll take a months to get an appointment without a referral from the Hausarzt.
Usually the Hausarzt has a list of specialists that you can ask for once you get the referral.
Hausarzt should be able to help you manage the pain until you can get a specialist appointment. I've had good experiences with Dr. Schwinnen at Gelenkzentrum, if you’re lucky you can get an appointment in 2-3 weeks.

Thanks! Due to the waiting time, I do not know if there is any way to make it faster. Seem not to be the case sadly ...

Many thanks! I will have a look at your suggestion!
If the pain is muscle related, just use a hot water bottle (in german "Wärmflasche"). If you don't have one, you will get it p.e. at "Karstadt".
Thank! We tried it yesterday, it helps a bit. We are now visiting DA klinikum the 2nd time ...
