Avatar m tn I have had knee, hip and back x-rays, MRI scans on my back and hip, two knee operations for mild CMP and a lateral release. I have also seen a chiropracter and had a bio-mechanical assessment (othotics req'd). Nothing was found, joint spacing etc fine except for some fraying of the cartilage on the posterior lateral aspect of my patella. The lateral release was to see if it could alieviate the pain and give the IT band some laxity.

Avatar n tn I was recently evaluated by a dentist for possible veneer, mainly for cosmetic reasons. However, given the condition of my teeth, he recommended crowns instead of veneers. He also recommended crown lengthening because my teeth are small and "too short". It would cost me $600 for whitening (ZOOM), $4500 for crown lengthening-6 teeth and about $2500 per crown (including provisional crown, post and porcelein crown). I have several questions: 1) Is this overpriced?.
1218873 tn?1300091216 Over here in the UK, we generally don't know what the cost of tests and drugs are, as they are covered by the NHS. But over the past 12 months I have started to learn a bit of what thing cost, and it appears that even if you go private they are considerabley cheaper than in the US which to me dosen't seem quite right.

Avatar f tn Hi, How are you? Like any surgery, knee surgery also has scar tissue which can remain for the rest of the life, but it's size might decrease after the surgery. As you mentioned, it is 18 months after surgery I don't think this scar would dissappear. Normally, the scar will be approximately six to eight inches long. It will be straight down the center of your knee unless you have previous scars, in which case they may use the prior scar. There will be some numbness around the scar.
415867 tn?1323365503 Insanelly expensive but my RE uses an online pharmacy out of the UK called IVFMEDS. I have purchased generic menopur (Repronex) from them. They charge about $18 a vial while discount programs here wanted $40. I had to use two vials in the morning for Ten days so calculate the cost. IVFMEDS is your best bet but you need to order early to make sure you get them in time for ur cycle. Good luck.
Avatar f tn with note of mild myxoid degeneration in the posterior medial meniscal horn. Can someone help me understand??
Avatar m tn m not sure what you are searching. The UK has the lowest incidence of HSV2 that I believe lies in the range of 6-10% of the population. However you had sex with a young virgin where the incidence is 0%. I know your situation is confusing. But you are now well and truly beyond the time frame for developing antibodies. You can get the correct IgG testing privately and that will cost you, but I think it will give you peace of mind.
Avatar m tn Why can't I get the cost of multifocal lenses without going to the Doctors office for evaluation? I have already gone to for two evaluations and told that I am a candidate for lenses when I have my cataract operation. I have talked to people that have had cataract operations throughout New England. The prices are not uniform in price, How do I find a listing of the prices that a surgeon gets in a particular state or surrounding states.

Avatar m tn im 44 6 ft 5 325, Ive had 7 operations on my left knee. ACL repaired and both cartlidges removed. I cannot stand more than a couple of hours because of the pain.

7486852 tn?1410352184 Yes the knee specialist I seen when I was 18 sent me for a MRI then told me i had osteoarthritis and that he could offer me steriod shots but i would be dependent on it, so I just took the pain pills which I don't take anymore because of side effects and cost. I try medicated rubs, have a knee brace for at least my left knee which is the worst. I can't do anything for more than about ten minutes without having pains like cleaning, cooking, walking, sitting, standing.
Avatar m tn The pain is centered in the center of his knee, as if you were to drill from the top of the knee and the side, the point they met is where the pain is. There was on injury to the knee prior to it starting to hurt. My question is has anyone hear of this before? Does anyone know what I can do to help him?
