The run-a-round

I have been dealing with back problems since I was 16. Every time I went to the hospital they would tell me that is was a pulled muscle. Well that went on for awhile and after PT I went back to the Orthopedist and discovered I had no reflexes in my right leg. Finally someone realized there was a problem. I was diagnosed with a herniated disc and had surgery when I was 18. Here I am 8 years later and it is happening all over again. Apparently my former neurosurgeon did NOT get all the disk out. What he left I guess tried to regenerate and then tore. I also have scar tissue forming around my spinal chord. I found this out after my latest MRI. Of course since I have no insurance I couldn't find a neurosurgeon to read my results so I have to go get the report myself and decode it using medical websites and medical books. Now I have found a neurosurgeon that does prosthetic discs and doesn't require insurance but they wont see me until I go to a general practice doctor. Geez.... Well I found one but he wont be in his office until after noon next Wed. Maybe someday I will get this taken care of. I don't even have anymore medicine left for pain.
