Hello having a bad pain day today with my upper back/shoulder area and going up my neck into my head. Nothing seems to be helping today. I am also a bit upset because my pain doctor that I have been going to for the last 4 years has joined another larger medical group and they do not take my insurance. I was laid off last June and have had insurance through the health insurance exchange. Won't qualify for medi-care for another 3 years!! I have seen my doctor twice since then but had to pay cash and can't keep doing that. I think it is time for my cervical facet joint injections and definitely time for some trigger point injections as well. Have been trying to find a doctor that will accept my insurance but am not having much success, plus I am a little bit scared since I had a really good pain doctor and now having to start over with a new doctor.

@lyssia, I know a new doc is scary, but I have had it happen that in switching, I end up with someone younger who has more belief in me and in trying something different. I am sorry for your pain today and hope that it subsides. I would expect that your insurance card has a number that you could get info on the nearest doctor to you who accepts it. I hope you can find someone who is even better than the last.
Sorry your hurting so today I was miserable this morning. If you can find Arnica tea get it.Arnica is for pain I found it in Rite aid its great being tea ,it gets into your blood stream fast.Love it for pain works faster then pills For all of us with chronic pain try it you,'ll love it.Another tool to use
That's a bad position to be in. New Doctor bingo. I wish you luck, you will find an even better Doctor than the one you lost. I'm sure of it.

@lyssia oh my goodness I hear your frustration I too will eventually have to leave my pain doctors and I can't afford to see them anyway because I've got too many co-pays to pay and my husband just lost his job. Show my heart goes out to you and prayer that God will provide all that you need hugs Victorious 69
