@gently, grateful again for your prompt and detailed inputs, I have traditional medicare,and I live in California, since I fell last May, I went to urgent care three times, ER twice trying to relieve my right leg severe pain and poor mobility, received five injections for pain, then my PCP referred to pain management md got another epidural injection, since none helped my pain md referred me to an Orthopedic surgeon, he looked at my MRI and X ray, said no surgery needed just went for PT to strengthen my core area and the leg pain and numbness should go away, but after 30 plus PT and 10 chiros my leg still tight and difficult to walk and core area still did not improve since last May. So my PCP finally referred me to a Lifekind Health to do the MBBx2 injections which I did one and one chiro at the same Center for 8 minutes so called reflex machine bouncing up and down on my core area, so far those two visits had not helped. my back is not really painful what I feel is tightness for both back and right leg very uncomfortable, unable to walk longer than five to ten minutes and stand up straight for ten minutes. The best comfortable way is to lie down straight, for more than a year I felt so depressed and no life but home bound trying to figure out how to improve my mobility. As you mentioned the second MBB injection should be tscheduled for my follow up visit this coming Thursday and one chiro called decompression the nerve suggested from last visit. Getting frustrated for no help and no hope, might just have to ride it out from bad luck accident sad to say! None of the Drs explained to me about my MRI in detailed, justs said degeneration, arthritis, bulging disks can't be treated, all other medical terms are unremarkable. Again your messages were deeply appreciated

@yeeko, I'm especially sorry that you've been depressed and homebound. It's true that you had an unfortunate experience. Those chairs are a hazard. But your injury seems to be, well--too mild for surgery (fusion). And that is good.
You might be best served by a minimally invasive spine surgeon.
I see where you are over there in the east with Lifekind. Would it be difficult to get to UCLA or Irvine?
