Default return of pain

If you get the Botox injex please let us know how that goes. Wishing you less pain (again)!

Maria I will keep everyone posted.I spoke with doctor fishman last night and he was happy i had some relief as a proof positive.

Dr.fishman is starting a new study for piriformis syndrome in a month or two and all the injections will be covered as long as you meet certain criteria.

I am hoping I do as they seem pretty expensive (I have a hmo plan so they are not covered as he is out of network.)

Default re out of network

Mike,
You might be able to try the angle with the HMO re going out of network that they don't have an in network specialist that provides specific treatment for your diagnosis however this doctor does. Perhaps then he could be treated as an "in network" provider. HMOs are pretty stinky to work with tho it's worth a try unless this is a clinical trial then hopefully you will qualify for it and be able to get into the Clinical trial. Will keep my fingers mentally crossed for you! Good luck there!
