953 nut 63,665 #1 Posted February 4, 2025 My wife has a pinched nerve in her spine due to a herniated disc which has made walking nearly imposable for almost two months. We have been going through the Medicare hoops of Physical Therapy, pain management, and injections which have not been effective. Wednesday morning, she will have an injection into the disc which is supposed to relive the pain and allow her to walk without pain. Please say a little prayer for the medical staff and my wife, Maggie, that the procedure will go well and have the desired outcome. Thanks, Dick Schmidt, 953 nut 4 1 20 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lynnmor 8,421 #2 Posted February 5, 2025 I wish her well, the current Medicare "hoops" often have the patient go thru needless procedures when the real cure is evident from the beginning. Wife and I both BTDT. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rmaynard 16,791 #15 Posted February 5, 2025 Medicare is great most of the time, but there are times when they are a pain in the butt. Wishing your wife good luck with the procedure. I hope it gives her some relief, but if it doesn't you will have to get her doctor to appeal the Medicare decision to get her the proper surgery. Make enough noise and they will relent. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
