Jackie, Please keep us informed regarding your care. Does your insurance provide you with a list of the type of surgeon you need on line? Can you call them to see who is in the network and works out of the hospital in which your surgeon wants to do the surgery? At least you know what is causing your pain. That is a good step and we all know that it is not in your head. You knew this it is just the attitude of drs that makes us question our own pain. Good luck and God bless.
