I’ve talked to 3 different surgeons. My whole C Spine is compressed and 1 wanted to lay the whole back of my neck open. I do have a lot of medical knowledge. I have both CNA certificates and my aunt is a nurse with multiple specialties. I wasn’t going back to him. I know the stenosis needs to be fixed and no guarantee of any pain relief. I do a lot of research on doctors I go to after I see who I was referred to. None of those 3 qualify as far as I’m concerned. I want to get back to riding my motorcycle and they all said not until 6 months after surgery. Another problem is for long term disability my company only pays 40%. But I’m a self checkout cashier and it’s a lot different than regular. I had to quit regular cashier because of the pain. I’m going to a neurologist head doctor for my constant headache and migraines. Maybe he will have someone in mind better. They forced me to take intermittent FMLA for the head and neck pain. This is a high end grocery store and they don’t pay much. I know I have to have another MRI. The other thing is how long do I wait? None of them said anything about time frame, like I should really do it before end of year or anything. I asked and they didn’t seem to be too concerned. My orthopedic is more concerned than the surgeons were. Does the pain ever get any better? I feel exhausted from it all the time.
