Cervical degeneration after nearly 2 years getting worse

Did your doctor in Florida do a nerve block and fluoroscopy to find the right nerves for rhizotomy procedures? Did he review all risk and complications with you before the surgeries? Was anything mentioned about nerve regeneration or other orthopedic options if the rhizotomy did not work? Have you looked into any legal action against the doctor?

Dr Deuk never reviewed the risks with me, never did nerve blocks.
He assumed it from the MRI.
He just made a recommendation and I trusted him.
What a big mistake.

After coming back last year I found all of his bad reviews.

I should have been more alert . I was in a lot of pain and desperate.
He promised me that I would be pain free after surgery.

I tried to find law firms in Florida to act on my behalf on a "no win, no fee" agreement but no one was interested.

I am currently on a basic old age pension and all my money was wasted on this operation.
I have no more money.

In Australia people without private health insurance rely on the Australian Medicare system. If you are not rich, you can go to a public hospital and you will be looked after for free. The problem with the public hospitals is that there is a very long waiting queue.
The public hospitals are overloaded.
You could be waiting for months or longer.

Before I had a private health insurance that was covering my for spine but recently I had to cancel it, it was costing me $240 AUD per month that I couldn't afford anymore.

The old age pension pays me $1144 american dollars which is not a lot with the cost of living going up every week.
