@loriesco TY for taking the time to reply. I have been reluctant to spend funds at my age but did go to Cleveland Clinic. I was disappointed with the non-care although they stated a torn tendon from what they noted.
I need confirmation as what is really going on as I have been told my all those I have seen different opinions. I really know how there are so many opinions since no doctor can "see" what is going on. I have Medicare and Tricare for life too. But likely here, my outcome may have been the same. I appreciate you!

@bug3 well then you should be getting better care!!! TRICARE for life is the best there is. I myself have Medicare and champVA. You should be able to get as many opinions as you need. You should also be holding them to account if you’re not getting good care. Or maybe I should say good enough care! I am a big advocate for my military friends and community and I’ve seen our military friends and community at times. Get the worst care from the VA. When I was younger, I was misdiagnosed on three occasions which led me writing letters to TRICARE and the Marine Corps to get my medical changed to go outside of the VA circuit. TRICARE is run by Humana and they are probably the best insurance company. These days Medicare has been gutted and it doesn’t provide the same things it used to you just have to get the overworked doctors to write for the prior authorizations to get you what you need. As far as transportation, that might be a hard one to get covered so if you can combine it into a vacation. Everybody needs a vacation even after worst of times! Good luck and I appreciate you too!
