Hello
 

I'm new here and to forums in general. You all seem very nice and informed.
I have multiple lumbar spine problems, PTSD, & other worn out body parts, like both cmc joints, knees & heels.
I recently saw a Physiatrist for 1st time injections, but he wants me to see a seurgon first, does that make sense ?
I told him I've been dealing with lumbar problems for 10 years and 4 past seurgons said "no" to fusion / the only option/, so I wonder why he wants me to see one. I think most docs abuse the insurance.

Hi, Denver! :Wave-Hello: Welcome to NeuroTalk!

I see that you've already found our spinal disorders forum so if we can help you navigate or anything, just let us know. Have fun & we'll see you out there.:)

Hi ((Denver)). Welcome to NeuroTalk.

Doctors vary so much! As I speak, a coworker here is having back surgery, a fusion and some other matters.

You just never know.

Good luck and enjoy the caring and supportive folks here.
