RE: I fell, What should I do?

[Guest guest]

Well, I had a different story, I wasn't able to stand up, (Back Spasm) and I

have a herniated disc (L5, S1) and never damage in my left leg, and I waited

a week, and yes, over two weeks later, I feel a bit better (they gave me the

Fentanyl patch, which is new and has helped with the pain) I seen a Doc,

days after the hospital visit, and they think I re herniated my disc, but the

insurance will not cover for another MRI, as they didn't the first one, LONG

STORY! (I was hit by a car, walking across the street, in NJ! Worse state to

happen). And, have to wait to later, but I am on my last pain patch, and so

nervous, as I have notice, I have more pain, on the third day, and I get

another nerve block on Friday, but I can't stand up, (back still in spasm) so

how

are they going to want me to lay on my stomach, awake? UGH!

But, you MUST see a DOC, ASAP! ER or Family Doc. They know and can see how

you look and to mark it down, as insurance companies have to go through

their levels, but if it is an Emergency (Life or death) then they will do an

MRI,

as they rather do the X Rays (Doesn't show the discs, but will show if

anything is broken) and if it is really bad, they will do the CAT Scan, as it

cost

less, compared to the MRI!

Keep us updated, if you can! Hang in there! We are here for you!
