Suffering From Bulge And Tear In Back, Undergone Several Procedures And Taking Tramadol
Hello, I hope you can help me. I m on Medicaid and have bulge and tear in my back and been suffering for over 10 years. I am located in Dalton Georgia and pain management is in Chattanooga Tennessee, I have had several procedures on my left side, the last being the oblasion last Monday, been going for 7 months and am not taking any pain medicines other than Tramadol. Can you recommend a back doctor nearby that accepts Medicaid? I m electing not to have surgery at this time. Thank you.
