Doctor Visit

Well, I went and spoke with the doctor yesterday about my increased pain. He was afraid that I might have an abscess that needed to be addressed. He sent my for a CT scane to get a look at what was going on. The CT scan came back okay with no abscesses. With that, he noted that there was some inflammation in the area. He prescribed my some Celebrex for the inflammation and also an antibiotic in case there was an infection.

In regards to the medicine, m insurance company would not authorize my coverage for the Celebrex (and this is the one that is not currently requesting my records in an attempt to what appears to be denying my coverage). We are still waiting to see what happens after the nurse called and spoke with them and explained why I needed the anti-inflammatory. So, in the meantime I purchased 10 pills out-of-pocket to help get some relief. I am really tired of dealing with insurance companies and all their bullshit!

Anyway, the medicine has helped with some relief. I am still in a little pain, but we will see if the progress continues.
