Can anyone around here tell me the name of a Dr that does laser surgery on back's and necks? I thought I had found the answer to my prayers when I found the Laser Spine Institute. I called them and explained my problem, two herinated disc in my neck and degenerative disc disease with a cracked disc in my back. She told me they don't take my insurance{ I am on disability and have Secure Horizons} She then told me that without insurance the cost of the surgery would be $35,000. Gee maybe I must have on the wrong pants cause there ain't that much money in my pocket sorry. She then told me maybe we could go take out a mortgage. Thanks but we already have a first and a second. I just need to get this fixed ASAP without going thru all the recovery time a regular operation will take. My regular neurosurgeon was gonna have to go in thru the front of my neck and maybe if I had a child that could understand that mama can't do things regular surgery would be OK. My son , even though he is only mildly autistic and is very smart   still dosn't get what surgery is and how mama would have to take it easy. I am trying to get off these pain meds and muscle relaxers but I just can't handle the pain so I go running for the pill bottle. I am willing to go to St.Pete, Clearwater, even Orlando if necessary to get some help because as time goes by it's just getting worse. The only thing that scares me is the disc that is on my spinal cord in my neck. If anyone knows anyone I would be so grateful. I'M DESPERATE. I'm praying someone out there can help me find a Dr. so that I can be a normal person again.
