An interesting read over who gets the dollar. The patient, the insurance company, the doctor or Government Low back pain became somewhat dehabilitating in 2005
Have had 11 steroid injections, IDET, Trial for nerve stimulator, PT, chiropractic trial, practically every med known to mankind.

Doing better than expected. Last opioid 7/9/10. Five months pain free, then my neck turned against me. MRI on 12/1/10-- disease at C2 to C7. Only surgical alternative is to fuse entire C-spine.

Re: An interesting read over who gets the dollar. The patient, the insurance company, the doctor or Government Very good read. There are quite a few doctors in my area that do not accept Medicaid or Medicare. My pediatrician does not accept Medicaid in their office, they do take it in the hospital because they are the one's to see newborns who do not have a doctor. My pediatric dentist said for her 40th birthday present to herself she quit accepting Medicaid. My family doctor does not accept either as well. The only doctor I use that accepts Medicaid is my OBGYN.
