They asked me if I ever have leakage accidents and I said that I do every once in a while (maybe a minor leak once a month or so), but that's not why I'm there. I'm there according to the neuro for the PN pain, loss of leg function and loss of balance.

They gave me the Kegel exercises, and yes, you're right, anyone can do those at home. Actually, there's hardly any of the general PT stuff I can't or don't do at home (and don't see a bit of improvement).

They also keep putting "lumbago" and "back pain" on all my forms, which I'm sure is just so they can con the insurance companies because I betcha dollars to donuts that insurance doesn't pay for any of this for a DX of PN.

I hate it that they can get away with all of this nonsense and because:

  1. It's humilating.
  2. I have to put up with it or else get labeled in their database forever.
  3. This healthcare could be going to someone who could benefit from it, but it isn't because they don't have the coverage that I do.
