Hello Joan, @jmb73 just checking in to see how your appointment went with the neuro-spine surgeon on the 15th? I hope well. Is there a pain management plan? Can you begin PT yet?

The neuro surgeon said my back wasn't bad enough for back surgery and the pain was from my hip. I have been to 3 hip surgeons and they won't operate even though I have lost weight. They claim it's too dangerous with my bad back! My neuro surgeon has referred me to an orthopedic and I see him on the 20th of Sept. I am hoping Medicare will pay for these doctors. I am shocked that it's not my back but this neuro- surgeon is supposed to be the best. I can't do PT because of my hip. Thanks for your concern,
Joan
