The lumbar region I could get 30% relief. The cervical region I could get about 60%, and am investigating that.
The Thoracic region, no surgeon will touch because of proximity to the heart.
Laser Spine institute say they can give me about 50% relief, but will take approximately 10 procedures, with me responsible for approx $20,000 up front for each one. Needless to say I won’t be visiting the Laser Sine institute anytime soon.
No matter what I do though I should be on my pain meds because they kept me walking, and not walking is accelerating the issues. Problem is Insurance won’t pay for the one I’ve been on, and When I showed the doctor what they would pay for she accused me of being a drug seeker and just quit seeing me. Because of the laws here there are no others who treat people like me. I have an appointment 150 miles away on the 20th. Hopefully that gets me back on some meds, and into some form of physical therapy, so I can get my legs back.
“When I showed the doctor what they would pay for she accused me of being a drug seeker and just quit seeing me.”
I’d have that woman up before an ethics board, a state medical examiner etc. etc with an accusation like that. That is outrageous and I am certain you’d have some type of recourse.
Traveling 150 miles due to this woman’s unprofessional behavior is terrible. I do hope you make a few calls and see what can be done about the issue.
I understand you just can’t go to a hospital across the street after such a bad experience but there must be something that can be done.
