so approximately how long does the insurance take to go through?? my docs are trying to push it as fast as they can considering I'm only off until the first of the year, but do you think the insurance will approve everything prior to then?? i'm not sure what i will do if I have to push my time off because of this and of course my manager is not too happy with me, but all of my bosses (the doctors) support my decision. I do not want to have to go on long term disability because of insurance but in your situations about how long did it take? sin

It took YEARS for my diagnosis, years to find a good pain management doc and I am currently on my 3rd SCS. It does not help all people but I went from being as active as I am now and more, to working homehealth and hospice and back. I have been having trouble with my SCS charging and therefore my pain is worse. I am pushing through it but am finding that I am having more and more difficulty. I will get the darn thing replaced if I must but I will so I can do what I love to do anc care for, at some point I may be like others here who cannot do my job but I intend to go down kicking and screaming
