I believe I read about MILD. I think that's another specialty thing invented by pain doctors tgat insurance sees as too experimental to cover. The local pain clinic tells people medicare pays but find out after they pd the doctor not the ER, anesthesia, radiology etc. Always call your ibsurance compsny itself and make sure ALL of it is covered. Ekk financial despair would definitely throw mr iver the sui edge I think.

Things can get worse. Deep debt being another. Beware pie in the sky procedures by a dr who just met you and can just never see you again if it goes badly. You are stuck and they are gone on to their next victim in some cases. There is never a shortage of people in pain hoping for a miracle and unconventional drs saying they've got the cure. We still have MDs that sell snake oil.

Sorry to sound so negatI've. I'm having to stay in reality right now that I can't walk again and cant get a dr to even diagnose it? They just want to inject Somewhere, ANYWHERE! Tell me what's wrong first and why your injection has at least a 90% chance of helping.

I don't take pain meds except LDN and I'm torifol 4x/year when I need a painfree day to reset. My kidneys and liver are paying the price for years of meds. Local injections of cortisone affect kidneys, livers etc. We need to always remember its the same with anesthesia. It takes a toll on our organs too. Dialysis will make my life even harder to not want to go. Right now, wanting to live is my major fight. Thanks. I know this was hard to read. Always look at the bottom line.
