Im sorry to hear about your condition,,all the advice from everyone above seems to be a very good course of action,,,Sadly,,it does sound like the ssigns of RSD,,,and as everyone has said,,its crucial to get on it now,,there are alot of avenues to go,,as mike said and others,,try the blocks,,and as for the meds,,,everyone is different,, also remember,the bone scan,is a diagnostic tool,,but there are alot of different readings on a bone scan that the DR looks at,,,loss of bone density and atrophy and hot spots,,,but theres also a grph on there to ,that I [think] shows something to do with the spread that they look for on the legs,,if your doing a lower scan,,I had one done,but i forget wgat he mentioned about those reading,,,Theropy is a great tool,,but it appears in your condition ,that is hard to do,,even if you can wiggle or do ankle pumps,,I pray that you get relief,,,it sounds like your still in a acute stage from nov 09 . RSD wise and surgery wise,,,Please let us know how we can help,,and dont be afraid to ask anything

No way of knowing without researching it. Every plan and insurer has a different policy on scooters. It would be easy to find out though. Call the subscriber phone number on the back of your card and get an operator on the phone to discuss benefits. Explain to them that your are not ambulatory, need mechanical assistance and if your medical doctor writes a prescription for a scooter, is it then a covered benefit under your policy? They will tell you (of course with a disclaimer that there statement is not a gaurantee of benefits) with some certainty the answer! If you have one, also check the written copy of your policy as sometimes it is different from what you are told. I would also repeat the phone call several times as different operators may give you different answers. Good Luck!
