Finally !!!!!

That doesn't sound too good. Will they need to to surgery?

I'm reluctantly starting PT for my neck on Wednesday. I told my doc I'd go two three times to be fair. She was surprised I'd go once. Really wish the breast reduction surgery would have worked.

I hope there will be no surgery. From what I researched online today...it sounded just like me. Said treatment was usually PT and meds and that it usually is cured. May take more time for the tingling to go away, but so far I'm not feeling any tingling....that's a good thing. Still have to wait until Aug. 1 for the follow up, but I'll be calling now for the PT appt. Hopefully that can get started soon.

So glad that you finally got a diagnosis, and are going to begin treatment! What caused a slipped disc?

With PT, it can be cured? That is wonderful news Janet!

It's always good to know the problem. Hope PT works out.

I go tomorrow at 10:30 for physical therapy. My insurance pays all except for a $20 co-pay.

That's great!!! At least you have insurance that will help. We only have major medical so that means all the tests I had done we'll have to pay for.

I hope you're able to get some relief.

Janet, I'm so glad that you may be able to get some help!!! I'm also grateful for insurance!

Diana, I'm sorry you have to pay for your medical tests. I know they are very expensive. We are so fortunate that Gary has Medicare and a supplemental that pays almost all of his medical expenses. I get the statements and I know those tests are very expensive. He gets all of them for his diabetes every three months. Plus, he gets similar (but not the same) every three months for his kidney disease. And then sometimes they run more tests for his heart failure. If we had to pay out of pocket for all those tests, we would be in the poorhouse.
