Worrying/Stress

Hey Guys,

I am a worrier ( I try not to be). My problem that has me worried is my neck. I have had a very painfully sore neck for over a week. I broke down and went to the doctor today b/c the pain is shooting down my right shoulder. My doctor has an x-ray lined up at the hospital for me tomorrow, and a session of Physical Therapy.

 

I may have strained my neck last week when I was caught up in a borrowed book, but the worrier in me lets my mind wander to scary reasons.

 

It may be b/c I spend way to much time online??:( I am hoping for an answer tomorrow, but I am sure there will not be a doctor ready to read the x-ray after it is taken. He gave me some sample pills of a mild, mild,d muscle relaxer.

 

Could it be my gait messing up my neck??

 

This is scary b/c this is the first time I have used my Medicare insurance for x-rays and PT.

Thanks for listening. My hubby will be home soon, so I can vent to him:)

[/size][/color][/i][/b]Amy, you will learn that Medicare is wonderful. In 1992 when I had my first stroke and didn't yet have Medicare, I fortunately had some "emergency money" saved but not enough to pay the whole bill. I was only in the hospital for 3 or 4 days and didn't really need any OT or PT. Fortunately, carges at that time were less than they are now. I was able to make arrangements with the Dr.s and the hospital to pay a certain amount each month (sometimes just 10.00) and everyone accepted imy doing it this way. I believe it took me 2 years to pay the hospital. (No interest is charged) I paid all my bills. This time I had Medicare and it was a good thing because hospital, rehab, a nursing home where I had rehab came to quite a bit of money. 20% (I do not have supplemental insurance) is a spit in the ocean when you are dealing with thousands. I am working now and Medicare is taken from my pay; I get nothing additional- it just goes in the pot so to speak. So, using your Medicare will really be a blessing as you will see. Yes, therapy is limited etc. but still it's a good buy.[/font]

hey Amy:

 

you could have strained in sleeping, or maybe ur monitor is 2 high, so could have strained in that 2, for me sometime pain gets healed by putting ice patches, that always help me, hope you feel better& stop worrying bout it, u will not cure it, make ot worse so stop worrying
