So glad that you finally got a diagnosis, and are going to begin treatment! What caused a slipped disc?
With PT, it can be cured? That is wonderful news Janet!

I go tomorrow at 10:30 for physical therapy. My insurance pays all except for a $20 co-pay.

That's great!!! At least you have insurance that will help. We only have major medical so that means all the tests I had done we'll have to pay for.
I hope you're able to get some relief. |

Janet, I'm so glad that you may be able to get some help!!! I'm also grateful for insurance!
Diana, I'm sorry you have to pay for your medical tests. I know they are very expensive. We are so fortunate that Gary has Medicare and a supplemental that pays almost all of his medical expenses. I get the statements and I know those tests are very expensive. He gets all of them for his diabetes every three months. Plus, he gets similar (but not the same) every three months for his kidney disease. And then sometimes they run more tests for his heart failure. If we had to pay out of pocket for all those tests, we would be in the poorhouse.

I have a very nice young man from India as my PT. He doesn't think my pain is from slipped discs, but from a stretched/pulled muscle. He did a very thorough exam and then did some massaging type therapy first and then gave me a couple of exercises to do at home. I am to go twice a week. Hopefully after each visit I won't be as sore as I am tonight. I haven't hurt this bad for a few days at least. My PT feels that my pain will be gone in no time. I sure hope so.
