What should I do about my back, with no insurance? I don't want surgery

My back is crippling me. I can barely shower, walk, I had to use my hands to lift my leg into my car. Should I see a regular doctor first or just go to the hospital to get diagnosed? I'm thinking whatever is wrong is something I'm going to be considered disabled.

Go to the hospital. If you're that bad, go to the ER.

A regular family doctor will likely refer you to a specialist.

If you can't function, you are going to have to get evaluated and treated. Did this happen because of an accident?

Depending on income maybe medicaid might be an option.

I highly recommend getting a personal trainer, drs and PT won’t do you any good. I had crippling back pain from a couple car accidents and I’m 90% better now! Plus liquid collagen, I can’t recommend that enough.

Do you qualify for medicaid?

Not sure. I thought the only way to get that is if you're pregnant or already on disability
