Well i did see a orthopedic surgeon who overlooked my lower back where all the pain is now. I cannot get in to see anyone unless I get referral from specialists which I am trying with this new gp. I am not covered by any medical which means I pay over 100 dollars to see specialist not to mention the $80 I pay 3 times a week for physio. I am borrowing money to see the new gp today. I get under $200 dollars a week from disability so
i can hardly afford to buy toothpaste. If I go public health system I will not get good doctors so i need to pay each time. For me at the moment I can hardly drive to see anyone so my friend is driving me today so I can see his doctor so he can send me to a specialist he trusts. I dunno but at the moment I have paid more than I can afford and is probably the main issue cause public health system you wait a long time and I heard their not too great. so each time i want to see new specialist I pay to see a doctor first then pay initial consultations etc. It seems like a big joke lol. To see my first specialist I waited 3 weeks. anyway I am going to see this doctor now and see who he refers me too. We do get some of the money back from medicare but not from physio that the orthopedic surgeon suggested

thanks for the advice
