I am scheduled already for the second rotator cuff surgery on the left shoulder on Dec. 30th. I had the right one done on Sept. 23rd of this year. My goal is to get both surgeries on my shoulder repairs out of the way this year with deductable already paid for this year. Then starting in Jan. my doctor visits will eat up the medicare deductable fairly quickly. I go to the Rheumatologist every 2-3 months to be checked and have blood work done. I see the new Neurologist (Dr. Maria De Jesus) again after I finish this new dosage of Wellbutrin that Dr. Deuell started me on last week to replace the Prozac. (She is thinking that maybe the Prozac was interfering with the Epilepsey meds.) no seizures since the 16th of Dec.(which is a Yay for me!!) I just need help getting this surgery out of the way, (about $300) Then the injections in my spine that are needed are for the degenerative bone disease that I have. The newest MRI's show alot of problems with different disc from my lower back which I have 2 titanium cages already placed, all the way up to my neck. The degeneration is back and very active. The treatment they are wanting to start with is the Facet injections which I have tried before, but, this time could be different. They are $180 ea. inj. (that is my 20% after medicare pays.) I have 8 discs needing inj. and the inj. come in 2's. one on each side. I am looking at a total of 16 inj. at $180 ea. totaling $2880, plus whatever Dr. Kikkeri (pain management doctor) charges to do them each time. Here is a personal report showing my diagnosis from Dr. Ata's office from August which is the last time I saw him. (these are all diagnosis HE has diagnosed me with)
