Doctor's office called. Insurance won't authorize an MRI. I'll need to go to a Orthopedist (back doc) or a Neurologist first. The person who takes care of referrals in the practice has to talk with my Doc first. Unless I win the lottery, I'll have to go through the insurance hoops. Last time I went through 6 months of h*** before I could get my herniated disc taken care of the right way. At least for now, I can still ride.
