@red1955 - Sorry to hear about the continued pain postop. I had my MALS surgery 2015 at MUSC in Charleston. I also had significant pain postop - well controlled with neurontin. It faded away after a few months. I was a patient at Mayo earlier. I had Medicare and a supplemental insurance. Mayo fills the insurance forms and then we forward the insurance payment to them. I have been lucky to have everything covered. You could still go to Mayo for your continued problems.
