High,

Unsure, I have been dealing with my neck issue for around 3 years. I've done a few rounds of PT, no injections (not interested in that, and Drs say I wouldn't get any relief due to the compression on the spinal cord). Do you know which insurance group covers your region? (Humana, united, etc?) I know Humana has different rules of what they approve than united does. United is who approved my surgery.

I would also recommend calling a tricare liaison or patient advocate at your base. They helped me when I was through standard and just starting with this whole mess.
