rant

I’m just needing to vent and not expecting replies. I posted a little while back about back/shoulder pain. It’s becoming more consistent. My NF specialist tried sending in an order for an MRI but my insurance denied it saying I need to try at least six weeks of medication and physical therapy first.

I talked to his office and they’re going to try and talk to my insurance company to see if maybe they’ll make an exception. Hopefully I’ll hear something after the first of the year as offices start opening back up.

It’s so frustrating. I’m taking 800 mg of ibuprofen as often as I safely can and I’m always on my heating pad. Now I’m waiting to see if I can get either my insurance to change their mind on the MRI denial or get into a local physical therapy office.

To those that read all of this ranting, thank you!

Also, if anyone has suggestions like pain creams or stronger heating pads, please let me know!
