ok i'm was complain about my injury few weaks or maybe month ago here

http://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_forum/index.php?showtopic=24757&hl=injury

actualy after long time when i'm was bussy i'm went to the chiropractor first{today}..i'm was tell him about my problem and he tell me that's be probbaly some spinal nerv on your neck..he take X-rays and show me my neck..the neck was straight and thats wrong!!! my main problem is numbness on my palm hands side specialy right hand and when that's get worst i'm start feel like tingling on all fingers...but like i'm set mostly the problem is on palm of my hands so thats why he decide i'm don't have carpal tunnel or tendoitis...i'm also don't have any sharp pain

The hard part is i'm not insured here on Usa and he tell me to visit him for 4-6 weaks every day...1 day be 45$
for guys who live on Usa it's fair price???????

i'm also hope his diagnostics is right ..i'm ready spend the money but hope thats help and not him to tell me after 1-2 month..sorry i'm was mistaken!!! u got something else...hi looks nice i'm have to say...but bussines is bussines specialy on Usa

btw-it's there other type of doctor who be can decide if i'm really don't have Carpal tunnel or tendoitis??..i'm saw my neck X-rays and i'm know my neck isn't 100% but just wana be sure and if i'm went maybe to europe{home} the neck problem can be fix cheaper??? but i'm afraid every doctor will tell me difrent story and i'm may be more confused

Eew, that's a pain! Yeah, I don't know about that kind of stuff... isn't there a professionally proven docter where you can go for free counseling?

IMO go home to consult a doctor near your home. At least, it would be more comfortable for your as you possibly will have friends and family to support you.

Medical care in USA is way too overpriced in my opinion. I remember when I had some toothache problem, went to emergency dentist to get some pills so I can sleep trough the night, and she said I should get Root canal and something else with that - it cost more than 900$ !!!
I was like thanks but no thanks, just give me pills. So I bought plane ticket to Serbia for 740$ and I went home for 2 weeks, got root canal and everything else sorted for 15-20 euros by our family doctor

I would really advise you to go home and get treatment, especially if you are not covered by any plan in US

I don't really know , you could get a second opinion on that in US, just to make sure, since its a costly treatment...Also you can consider trip back to your country where you have the insurance, it may be definitely a cheaper option...

I'm belive his Pro..but you know how thats work here...i'm afraid if i'm be visit other 2-3 doctors and they can be also Pro they be give me maybe 3 other options...i'm maybe be go visit neurologist to ask him about possibility to have Carpal T or Tendoitis...or maybe i'm be can stay for 1-2 weaks with the chiropractor and will see how i'm doing




it's near...but be not easy to visit him every day{i'm have to keep working}on my job




you absolutly right!!!!!! but in my case i'm not yet in situaction when i'm be can go home{fly home} and then coming back.....thats other case and if thats posibility for me don't change{flying home and can't go back}..Then i'm return home soon for while

That is terrible when doctors have so divided opinions. I hope you will find out what is going on Besip mate. Here in my country the situation is similar to that, doctors don't really care for patients and bad diagnosis happens often

Posted by: Bogdan Radovic Mar 26 2009, 03:06 PM

So sorry to hear that I hope you'll encounter the doctor that will be able to give you precise diagnose!

well..

there is a difference between a doctor and a chiropractor.. so getting oppinions from them will most likely end in different prognosis..

so what do you do next? i guess i would either hear what the doctor have to say about getting it "fixed" first.. and ask him about what he thinks about what the chiropractor said..

either way, your *may* still have a problem as your chiropractor said, but maybe it has nothing to do with your hand..

Posted by: besip Mar 27 2009, 12:20 AM

yeaahh i'm set

actualy i'm belive chiropractor is also doctor!! lot of people teling me they doing just some massage technique..but i'm belive they have to know exactly what to do..specialy when chiropractor wana work on my spinal chord which is werry dangerous if you are not qualified you can kill the patient

but neurolog is also doctor

so Chiropractor tell me..i'm trully belive it's your spinal chord if you gonna visit me for 4-6 weaks everry day 1/day 45$
so the treatment can cost more like 1200$ i'm will put your neck on right positions and you be ok

Neurolog tell me..looks like you have pinched nerv on elbow...but to be sure you need to do some kind of test 600$ ..i'm was pay him for the visit 150$ and he just prescribed me elbow pad..

i'm was really waiting from him for some tablets for inflammation or exersizes tips..he also set i'm glad you don't listen the chiropractor

my problem is mostly numles on my palm hand area..but when the problem get worst i'm feel numles and tingling on all hands...i'm stop almost work with right hand but now the same problem groving on left

actualy i'm work like maintence guy who fixing everything on the house and if i'm out of job i'm helping to my girlfriend on her bussines{cleaning service } so somethime i'm vaccuming all day...thats why the chiropractor and also neurolog say can be the problem same move from vaccuming few hour at day somethime+playing Guitar+my Maintence job

i'm know it's my problem if i'm not insured here on Usa but i'm be ready pay money if i'm be know i'm get help...but more like that i'm afraid to visit another guy and get totaly diferent opinion from this 2 previous opinion

yeahhh money first


my diagnose can be--cubital tunnel syndrome
