1555697 tn?1294705996 I did a Google search on needing surgery while not having insurance and having no financial means to pay for it and saw your post, but it has been almost 2 years since you wrote it. Did you ever get your surgery? How are you? I am in a very similar situation. I live near Atlanta and have been to the emergency room twice, once by ambulance (as I passed out from the pain, fell, and was unconscious when I was taken in).
Avatar f tn It surprising that even in the event of a broken bone that it would take your dr. that long to get back to you even his office staff should be able to assist you with a referal. Hope you find someone soon. Good luck.
Avatar n tn I am a 27yo Male in reasonably good health. 4 days ago, I slipped on ice in my driveway and fell backward landing on my palm and overextending my elbow. I hurt extremely bad and more than that, I had the sense that something was "screwed up" in there. Although i could move my wrist and fingers just fine, if I extended my arm, I could feel a "pop" or "crunch" in my elbow and excruciating pain would shoot from my elbow to my fingertips for a minute or so.
Avatar n tn I've had my left ankle broken on sept 29, it was a fibula frature with a tibia dislocation, was on splint for a week, had surgery on oct 7th,plate + screws + a very long screw to place my tibia on the right place, splint for another week, then my orthopedist put me on aircast Air Stirrup Universe since then. He told me to start physical therapy a week after surgery, but I waited until 2 weeks. Now my foot hurts on an area that has nothing to do with the fracture.
Avatar n tn Two days ago I fell down my stairs.The top of my foot and both sides of my ankle are swollen and bruised. Yesterday I needed crutches to get around. Today I can limp around, however, it still hurts like crazy. I don't have any medical insurance. How can I tell if it's broken or sprained. I don't have or want to spend the money to see a doctor only to get sent home with a sprained foot/ankle. Please help. I have a 2 yr old that doesnt sit down for anything. I need this to go away.
Avatar n tn Please tell me what this is: I recently have this terrible upper leg pain and buring from the middle of my leg up to the thigh, when I see and then get up. I am all hunched over with pain... Please tell me what you think this is: It is just so painful...
Avatar m tn I had a large open fracture high trauma injury. I had 10cm of broken bone removed from my tib. I underwent a long operation to graft a free flap from my lat muscle on my back, bone grafts from both hips and a skin graft. I also had a ilizarov frame fitted. A few months later I had an operation to break the top of my tib to lengthen my leg.
Avatar m tn That's very common practice w/ a fibula break.-My brother does heavy construction & is working as we speak w/ a broken fibula.- & no it not a weght bearing bone.I broke my tibia and fibula & while my tib healed with hardware placed- my fibula was left alone-I walked around for 3 months with a unhealed fibula & never knew until Dr.told me.I guess where my break was is a fine line whether to put hardware in or not. Hope this helps! Take care!
Avatar m tn First, it is essential to know that what unusual symptoms you are facing after broken screw. It may be possible that broken screw can impinge nerve and lead to some neurological symptoms. Please consult to a neurologist for a detailed approach. Hope this helps.
Avatar n tn I keep getting this weird crack in my leg when I move it. It sounds like a joint being cracked (such as knuckles, etc) but it's on the front side of my lower leg, slightly to the right, directly between the knee and the ankle. It will crack pretty loudly simply from me tensing the muscles in my leg and pushing downward (like when I get up after sitting). What in the world is this? There's no joint there so I don't know what's making that noise.
Avatar m tn s out of state insurance from where I am living now. I have heard that the ER will have no problem accepting it and the insurance co will be billed by them although is it possible that an independent orthopedic surgeon will also accept my out of state insurance? I would thoroughly appreciate any help/advice.
Avatar f tn I have been granted a hearing with a judge that is not associated with my insurance company. I have no idea what to say or how to convince him it's medically necessary. Anyone been here please give me an idea of what to expect and what to say.
Avatar f tn I make a little over 1700 and I was approved after a week. You should really insist there is no reason why they wouldn't approve you. I also have my work insurance and medicaid is paying for all of my deductibles. I thought I wasn't going to get approved but all my co workers told me to try it wouldn't hurt and it sure didnt. Good luck !
Avatar f tn I'm a first time mom. And by doing a due date calculator I'm 6 weeks today. Now I want to go to the doctor ASAP cause I worry. But I have no proof of insurance. I'm covered under my parents && they wont provide it. Where can I go or what can I do.
Avatar f tn I am in my 13th week and I still haven't seen a doctor because I have no insurance and cannot get insurance until November 14 because of Obama care. I am really stressed. I've been taking a prenatal vitamin since I found out but I have a history of preterm birth so I am very worried. Does anyone have any advice on what I should do until I get insurance?
Avatar f tn t been to a prenatal visit with the doctor because I have no insurance. I am not able to produce all of the documents needed in order to obtain health insurance and I cannot afford to pay $1000 per visit. Do you guys know of any other options that I'd be able to utilize so that I can know what's going on with my baby?
Avatar f tn What do I do about no insurance? Now that i have been diagnosed it will be considered preexisting what do I do?
Avatar f tn I live in NY and they have to keep me on medicaid till after the baby is born because weake to much to be on it bit my husbands work doesn't offer insurance so its kinda hard to afford other insurance right now .....
