Thank you for the info & I met with an integrative Dr last Wednesday. My biggest concern is managing my pain well enough to go the 40 min 1 way trip the sit for her appointment as all of it contributes to nerve compressing making managing pain even more of an issue. I have scheduled with her clinical hypnosis session (she trained with Dr. Andrew Weil in Phoenix, AZ) & that I'm looking forward to. Also interviewed at a spine clinic for a pain pump, or simulator that I don't want bit being forced by under managed pain management protocols. Hoping they can find the additional reasons behind my pain besides having one of the largest herniated disks at the medical center where the radiologist I talked with had been there for 28 yrs. Lucky me, ha,., The neurosurgeon removed the entire disk & now it's beating up on the nerves... It does suck but going on too long & too many others having horrible pain issues too so not looking for sympathy. Pain sucks no matter the cause...

Originally wanted to go to the Mayo but United Health Care & Mayo have been battling out insurance issues so not covered currently as far as I know. I need answers ASAP but need to manage my pain sooner... Too many people are treated poorly in America & that needs to change, PERIOD...

Thank you for listening to my rant... 🙂 God Bless each of you...
