Exactly how bad does one have to be to get an appointment at the Spine Center at Mayo? I’ve been “declined” 2x with no reason given. It’s all very discouraging!

I do have an appointment at the Cleveland Clinic coming up, but I don’t know it this doctor will have any treatment options for me either. His office is quite a distance from my home and I really didn’t want the expense, etc, if this doc can do nothing more for me.

I realize this post is mainly me venting about my frustration of living with pain as long as I have, so please forgive me. I just need to thank the Almghty it’s not any worse than it is!

Perhaps, Mayo’s refusal to see me has spared me from the disappointment of nothing more can be done to help me, however, it would’ve been nice if they’d given me a reason!
