Relapse

geneinnc · November 29, 2019, 02:59:35 PM

After 12 years at the pain clinic I had to quit epidurals.
Copays is $1400 per year.

Cant close my left hand now. Same doctor said it was because my fused neck is pinching the nerves to my left side again.

I asked him about hemp oil and he said that won't show enough to count as pot but his patients were sleeping better. It did help me sleep and that is a blessing.

I'm trying to see if insurance will let me start back to at least see if the epidural will stop the damage from progressing to the point where I lost most use of my left arm. I will be shocked if they do.

On the bright side a have until spring to figure out a cradle grip that works on my crankbaits rods.

Wow, I am so sorry to hear that Gene. That is some serious stuff right there.

You have my prayers that things somehow work out in your favor brother.

Man this is a tough deal, I wish there was some way to hold these doctors accountable. The make you sign you life and you spouses life away before they will work on you.

Praying something changes.

Lets add insurance companies and politicians to the list for making a absolute mess of the medical industry.

Hope you get well soon geneinnc.

I'm sorry about the problems. Authorities don't want to hear the system is broken sand some doctors are terrible human beings. Through experience I make these recommendations:
If you think something is wrong, get a lawyer immediately.
If the doctor doesn't answer your questions, get a lawyer immediately.

You are so right. Insurance companies run what the Dr prescribes. You are in our prayers.

I go back Friday for epidural 2. I got almost total relief, just now having some trouble. They never asked for a copay so we will see what happens Friday. If they want $700 I'll just have to get the pain meds refilled, if they will even do that until I pay up.

I had to do urine test, and I hope the Dr is as good as his word. I asked him about CBD oil and he said yes. He said it will appear on the drug test but not enough to show positive. I took the capsule I'm taking in so there are no surprises.

Dr. was spot on. He said the biggest benefit is helping me sleep since horrible insomnia goes with chronic pain, and I'm sleeping again.

We shall see come Friday.

It's a shame insurance companies and Doctors make all this harder. Prayers for you 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Thanks for the update Gene and glad the CBD is helping you get some sleep. I have to take a sleeping pill just about every night in order to get to sleep and get 5 hours sleep. I have a bad case of insomnia and have given it a thought of trying the CBD stuff also . My cancer doctors suggested that also. Hope and pray that itall works out for you.
