I have been dealing with some major back issues this year! My neck area ( cervical ) has been so bad that it radiates to my mid back and also causes numbness and tingling in my hands !
In May I was in Florida I got attached which took my symptoms to another level!
I was advised that I need cervical sugery involving hardware. I currently have constant pain and numbness in my arms and hands almost 24/7 because I have a herniated disk and a slip disk in my cervical soine with spinal stenosis ( thinning of the spine )
In addition I have radiating pain right signed from my lower back to my toes!
I do need sugery in my lower back but not as extensive as the upper!
I have been working in spine and orthopedic for 10 years ! Unfortunately my insurance is not a good plan! In network my out of pocket max is $9,500 and out of network it’s is $15,000!
I am going to require 2 surgeries! The neck will need to go first as I have been passing out on and off from the pain and the nerves are shooting !
As I am making appointments any of the good doctors are out of network so will cost me at least $15,000! On top of that all last month my identity was stolen and a hand full of funds were stolen out of my account !
I honestly feel weird starting a fundraiser account but now I am desperate to have sugery because I can’t even make a whisT.
Depending on the surgeon the surgery will cost me $15,00 while using my Insurnace. In addition if course I have bills to pay like my mortgage, utilities etc!
I will need to take a short term medical leave which as a result will cut my pay to 60 percent !
I hate to ask for help but here I am asking so I can move forward with the too surgeons as the cervical spine can be tricky !
Thank you for your support and love !
