Thanks for sharing, yours was done in government hospitals?
" (yah, now they MRI-ed my back and found some disc bulging pressing on some nerve which might be ONE of the cause of pain in the first place *smacks forehead*)"
So in the end they found the back bone disc slipped and i am glad you r getting the treatment u need.
I find because in government hospital u r referred to multiple doctors...it takes a very sharp doctor to assess and conclude your problem.
:cry::cry:
Yah.. you guessed it, government hospitals. I guess I refuse to pay premiums for private consultation. And I'm glad I didn't (okok, those times I complained about pain I was near to curses). For example, I had my MRI done for my back and it cost about $300+, I saw the bill and was so so relieved that is because I'm subsidised. Else, the full cost is $700+. gosh. :sweat: (and this is still diagnosis stage!) - I had a MRI done for my knee which cost me $400+ (weird why it's more ex then my back one) and it came back with no abnormal findings - imagine the bewilderment for me. And of course frustration that I can't pin point the problems yet then!
But, my case is really a complicated one.. Don't think my back issue is the ONLY cause to my knee pain. oh well, I'll leave the "doctor-ing" to the doctors. And yah, disadvantages (HUGE), is the non fixed doctor(s) I get. But I'm getting used to it :bsmilie: Just know what you seek and ask ask ask if you're unclear or want to find out more. Don't be pushed around by the doctors (i've had some parts of these as well). I had to insist and persist so many times.
In short, can die, but cannot fall ill. :sweatsm:
