What REALLY grinds your gears?

Things that grind my gears: Doc sends over imaging order for MRI, I call Inova to schedule it and have to wait on hold 10 minutes just to talk to someone this morning who takes down my info and then tells me a scheduler will call to set it up. Wait all day and finally get a call at 5:30 while I'm at the grocery store and the paperwork is at home. Call them back as soon as I get home and she says first available date is July 17th. Normally I'm not one to complain but I've been living with this pain for 6 weeks now and idw wait another 3 just to get an actual diag before a plan for treatment is made. So I bitch and the scheduler says if I call my doc back maybe they can work with my insurance to schedule a same/next day appt. So now gotta do that tomorrow.

That is definitely frustrating.

To be honest no one really has a “cure” for back pain. You could very well be over it by 7/16. 6 to 8 weeks is the normal lead time for it to heal.

I know when mine is getting better by how far up my leg the pain is. The closer the pain is too your spine / ass / lower back the closer you are to it being healed.
