Not sure , she just said they don't like like write soma. They are very conservative high volume clinic. Now maybe for some reason she just didn't want to write it for me bc it's a lot stronger than flexeril and she figured I could take flexeril and still be able to drive and function and with soma not so much.

You don't have any friends or family that will loan you a few hundred a month for insurance that would cover your back? Also, why can't you get unemployment or disability right now? There has to be government $ to help you thru and you most likely could get insurance that wouldn't cost you a cent since you are not working. Use it and pay back into the system when you are well, its not like you are a deadbeat.

The not driving on it thing makes sense but there really is the only reason I can think of. As long as flexeril works then whatever I guess.

I do a lot of driving so I'm sure that's the reason.

Depends on what DR is doing it. The first two I had they didn't use any anesthesia and it sucked balls for me. The last one was a piece of cake because the put me out for 10 minutes.

I've already done that more than I'd like and don't really want to ask again. Plus there are always strings.

And miles of red tape. I hate the system and hate the song and dance that goes with it.

After multiple surgeries, years of treatment, many meds the only thing that helped me for long periods was Airrosti.

So fricking what to both? Do you want to get better or are you going to just lay around complaining about your back hurting? Even if people recommend the greatest doctors in the world how are you going to pay for them without insurance or money? I am saying this from a place of love fr33.....DO WHATEVER IT TAKES!!!!!

Have you seen the cost of Obamacare?!
I'm looking for non-manual labour jobs right now, hopefully ones that come with insurance. The job I had did not offer me insurance.

So no matter what, I'm looking at a LONG recovery time with lots of PT?

Yes and its WAY cheaper than what you will pay out of pocket if your back is as bas as you say, especially if you eventually need surgery. Also, like I said before I am sure you can get it free until you find work.

I hope you find one but just know most will require you to wait 90 days before the insurance kicks in. Good luck brother!

No, these are different for everyone

Methiolate like my grandpa used to use on us. No matter what the injury we got a dose of that orange liquid hell.
Posted on 1/31/14 at 10:13 pm to fr33manator
Yes. Depending on the nature of the injury it may never be fully 100% .
I would also recommend for you to read about what vitamin D deficiency does in relation to back pain.

Your attorney should be wiling to front your medical cost since they will all be reimbursable. If he won't find a new one.
