My specialist suggested that if there is treatment available in the US to go and get it there!!!!!!!!! Ahhhh hello good idea eh?? (sorry I am canadian)

She has also suggested that I may have scar tissue from the original surgery causing my pain ahhhhhhhhhhhh more hello!!! so I am searching for the light at the end of the tunnel. I did find this

not sure if this is the place or if anybody else knows of it or has been to see this guy.

I am hopeful, but doubt that Canada has the imaging technology as the usa does to see nerves and what is wrong with them.....however in looking at the fee schedule I am a little daunted.

The following represents a summary of some of our most frequently ordered procedures, and their estimates costs:
Open MR-guided Injection Piriformis / Pudendal: $2900 to $3900
Open MR-guided Injection TOS or Scalene: $3500 to $5000
Open MR-guided Injection Spine: $1900 to $3250
Piriformis Surgery: $8000 to $12,000
Brachial Plexus Surgery: $15,750 to $20,000
Re-Operative Spine Surgery: $20,000 to $35,000

oh well life is not worth living like this all the time.....there has to be hope. I have to believe that or why else continue.
you guys know what I mean right?????????????
Am I off my rocker or what????

love and hugs,
Victoria
