ChaosParent23:

Thankfully I had no insurance hoops to jump through b/c the wait to get an appt w/ the neurosurgeon takes quite long enough.
I had an xray Oct 25
MRI Nov 1
Referred to neurosurgeon Nov 6.
Saw neuro Dec 6.
Surgery Jan 17

I guess my definition of hoops is different from yours. From your other posts, I think I saw you had PT and the injections as well. I count those as hoops. Dh got an MRI very quickly. Before doing the PT or injection. Did you have to do a series of injections? I hope once dh does that, the insurance path will be clear. Dh’s neuro is new to the area, and getting scheduled is not going to be an issue.

Thanks for your reply and glad to know you are on the mend It’s been tough. My dh is a marathon, triathlon (half iron man level) type, and this has been hard physically, mentally, and socially for him. No “trigger” for this, really, so very unexpected.
