Access to care in Canada is a lengthy process even though it is free. There are long wait time just to be able to be referred to a specialist. She has referred me to a pain clinic that has injections but the wait time is 6 to 18 months. I have anther appointment with her in a couple of weeks and will insist on seeing a neurologist. Sometimes we need to go to Toronto to get better care, but these facilities are not covered under our private or provincial insurance ( OHIP ).

Wow, you have to wait so long! Amazing! What do you do in the meantime? Suffer? The pain can get so bad during that period of time that it could incapacitate you. Will they prescribe meds to tie you over?
Wow!

@linda66 A neurosurgeon is a little different from a neurologist so ask for the neurosurgeon In meantime do you have that special pillow for the tailbone ? The pillow has a cut out for the tailbone Ice helps for the bulging disc I lay on my ice bag This helps me for my bulging disc I have to lay down in afternoon for awhile 30 minutes. Hopes this helps you
