@musikbliss Hi Crystal. Would your doctors provide a medical referral request for an appointment at Mayo? Sometimes having a referring physician helps because they can explain the issues, etc. Here is the page from the Mayo website to show to your doctors. Would you be able to travel to one of the Mayo campuses?

Do you want to talk? I will listen if you need me.

When I applied to Mayo, I was told it may be a 3 month wait to be seen. It all depends on what department you are seeking and availability, so there is no standard answer. Due to a cancellation in neurosurgery, I was offered an appointment 2 months after I sent in my imaging with my request. It may help to have your doctor make your request for you. I certainly sympathize, but the moderators and mentors on Connect do not have the ability to influence getting an appointment at Mayo. I think your doctor has a much better chance of helping you get an appointment.

Have you given any thought to myofascial release therapy? I know it helps me a lot. Are you in a safe place right now? What else may I do to help you?
