[tri-wings] Re: Deanna - Back pain

>>>Yep, I've been there, done that.  Last spring I had about 10 PT sessions on
my knees.  Even with 80/20 coverage for insurance, I still had a bill of
over $700.  And yes, it helped.  But I can't afford that kind of bill.<<<<


WOW, Guess I never noticed the costs before, but since we've switched insurance 
co. and our deductible is outragous, you tend to look a little closer.  It 
certainly makes sense why insurance is so expensive if these Da** Dr.s get away 
with charging $50 to watch a video tape for 5 minutes each time.



>>>I have arthritis in my spine (and just about everywhere else) and I've had
back surgery.  So my options vary with my mood.  I had been going for
Chiropractic help.  But it just seemed to go on forever---.   <<<

I think we've had this discussion before, BTW, my Mom is a different person 
since she had her back surgery.  We haven't seen her since Christmas, but Dad 
says that she is a different person.  I don't know how you live with the pain 
day in and day out.  I've had it now for about a month and feel so irritable, I 
know Mike has had his fill with me.  My Mom had her knees done over ten years 
ago and has never regretted it.  I know they have advanced technology now - our 
pastor just had both of his done at once and was back in the pulpit within 
three weeks.   I know the initial pain is bad after the surgery, but I all I've 
ever heard people say is they don't know why they didn't do it years before.  I 
hope you can find some comfort in your remedies.  I know the Captain can help 
with the stress issues and temporarily relieves the pain. LOL

>>Well, this is too long on non-Wings stuff.  Thanks for letting me vent. <<

When one of us is hurting or needs to vent - that is what Wings is for!!!!  Do 
I need to scold you.  Vent here whenever you want - that's what we are here for 
-
