A little advice, a few rants
So the pain clinic prescribed a topical compound of Gabadaptin (?) And diclofenac well of course it isn't covered by my insurance and they send the script to an out of state pharmacy so I had no clue what I was even getting until it got here. I was on diclofenac orally about 2 years ago and it really upset my stomach, granted I know this is being absorbed through my skin but I wasn't given a chance to inform them of this since they never told what they ordered. Also my new pain meds they wrote to be filled on Saturday, I understand why since they want my other script to have finished out when I start the new one. Problem is my insurance also wants prior approval before they will agree to pay. That takes a month. So I had to foot the whole bill for my pain meds or suffer since there is no 24 hr or emergency contact for my pain clinic. PS. The new meds don't work half as good as the old meds did. Ok rant over.
Now for those who use mobility devices, what do you use and how often? Since I am unable to get actual directions from my physician on what I should be doing I am having to put together my own way of living so to say, as I work on getting some therapy. I have a fracture (untreated) to the left heel, and RSD throughout the lower right leg ankle and foot. Right now I have a walking boot for protection of the right side when I am out, and a cane that i generally have to use due to the pain in both feet. But it's not enough and a wheelchair or motorized chair will not fit where i currently live.
Thanks bunches for any input hope all are have up days.
