I need a triple fusion surgery done in my cervical spine. I just had a triple epidural injection under flouroscopy by a pain Doctor. She told me that i need surgery. I cannot even afford the consultation. I have stenosis, degenerative disc disease, and arthritis thrughout my entire spine. The spinal disc problem has been there for many years, probably as a result of my father throwing me thru two sliding hollow door closet door when i was only 9 years old. He was very physically abuse. I've also had many sports and other injuries. I have insurance but cannot afford any deductible. I had to retire early because of it and cannot work anymore, and am on a fixed income. Does anyone know of a hospital that does this surgery just for the insurance payment, or better yet free under a research grant. I still have numerous medical bills from other illnesses. Please help, as i am desparate. Tammi B>>>Thank you so much for the info. I just returned from a Dr.'s appt. and was so glad that you spent the time to answer. Bless you..:)
