Hey all, I have been gone for a bit, but now am back. Good news is my hubby finally got a job again and our insurance has finally kicked in. So I go in, since its been 2.9 years since my last appointments to deal with issues. Doc says he wanted me to see ortho about my hip that has been paining me something fierce since I fell down the stairs in the summer of 012. Long story short, the ortho says he is not taking xrays or mri, rather he wants to inject steroid to reduce any inflammation of the bursa of my hip. I said, well I guess we can try and that would be the cheap way around. So that's what he did. He finishes and says, if this doesn't work, we will chalk it all up that the pain is from your PLS and unless I fall and break something again, he doesn't need to see me anymore. Then I get charged $690 for the visit. :shock:
This shot better work. If it doesn't and I go to have it xray somewhere else to find its broken, he is not going to like what happens next.
So, my opinion of docs still haven't changed after all these years, even after a break from them for a couple years.
Looks like we have a few more newbies that I have yet to read up on. Take care all!
