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

I had already said "damn snow!" a few dozen times this winter and thought that was enough. But had to say it once again after reading your message :)

The step-by-step process of elimination is a royal pain. Even at the "all under one roof" type hospital systems there's an anxious time-gap as they pass us from one specialist to another.

Hang in there. There really is a light at the end of this tunnel.

@Heartlander Yes, there is. At least they will take me next week.
