C1-c2 arthritis

Just reading my MRI. It looks like problems from C2 down to C4. I have bone spurs pressing on my cervical spine. I wanted to go to the same Dr. that did the injection a year ago May. He is a part of the ortho system in the San Francisco area that I go to. However, I was put completely under and didn't feel a thing. When I wanted to go again I was told that Medicare wouldn't cover any anesthetic at all and I can't do that particular injection cold turkey. So I am being referred to a pain medicine MD who is also a anesthesiologist and he already told me that Medicare will cover it. They just won't pay an outside anesthesiologist. It's really bothering me now but I have to wait for the referral to go through before I can even get an appointment.

I see. Thank you for taking the time to look. Hope you get out of the pain ASAP. BTW, do you get a lot of spasms in the area or tightness or muscle guarding when pain is there?
