I Need Somewhere To Vent, Without Fear Of Judgement

I am in so much pain it is almost unbearable and no one can help me until Medicare approves or disapproves the MRI my Orthopedic Surgeon ordered!! I can't take anything for the pain until after I have had the MRI either!!

Update: I will be having an MRI on Tuesday! Thank you for all your prayers and kind wishes.

Update: I have had the MRI, X-rays of knees and hips and a lot of bloodwork. Still no answers.

Next will be some nerve tests (EMD) and a visit to a rheumatologist.

Update: The nerve conductive study was done yesterday. I am waiting to hear the results as soon as the report has been written.

Update: I got the results back from the test on Monday. It was great news. My nerves and muscles are all working properly.

Update: I was able to get an earlier appointment to see the rheumatologist on the 4th of March! That is good news.

@SweetMae awesome hopefully they find out whats wrong
@SweetMae Fantastic! Get the problem located and taken care of. My VA doctor kept telling me there was nothing wrong with my knee, and a civilian doctor ordered a MRI, and I seriously needed surgery! Pain sucks doesn't it? I see my new doctor on the 7th, and she's going to get an ear full! I feel like I'm dying sometimes in the evening. I mean quicker than normal.........😆🤬
