Delay, delays, dealys! I'm sure that many of us have experienced that at some time. I went to a new pain doc here in Delaware in June who recommended a trial of a new SCS since my old one had given me decent pain relif until it died. Then the delays started...
July followup: more talking about SCS trial. request for trial sent in to insurance company.
August 23: Insurance approval for trial.
September 18: pain doc's office called to inform me that the doc had reshuffled his scheduled, and I could not have the trial until after the new year. Aargh! You have to be kidding me!
The office gal said that she had another pain doc in the practice who could meet with me next week and schedule my trial. Thank you, Andrea!
I agree that all the stress caused by all these delays can lead to all kinds of mental problems.
