scared in oregon

[juju975]

My fiance has been in quite a bit of pain for a year now.We thought at first it was from a fall that he had taken on July 4th while he was drinking with some buddies,not the case though. We have went through two different Drs and alot of P.T. to get farther in dept and no answers.Latest test was a nerve conduction study (with the needles)& we were told that his nerves were ok. This pain is always in cervical and lt shoulder. He had an mri that showed a focal mixed lesion within the posterior T1 vertebral which likely represented a benign hemangioma, unless he has a known history of malignancy atypical mets could not be ruled out. He has no history of cancer. Our new Dr has yet to order a follow up mri and its been 8 months or any blood work, we have no health care because John was let go from work due to his inability to perform his job, we are going broke quick and still have no answers to his health. Im scared something is way wrong.What do I do ? thanks for any help --- Julie in Oregon

We checked into ohp and were told they no longer offer it to adults without children,John just turned 48 and child is grown. I will be calling some community health clinics today to get him in, I figure with a sliding scale it might help. I dont care who orders the test cuz Ill just have the results c.c.to his regular M.D.
Im sorry for you and yours as well. Health care is a s.o.b huh ? Thanks for your response. Julie in Medford Or
