Hi Kathy,

Welcome to the forum. Glad you found us but your circumstances, especially with two small children must make your life very difficult. What did the MRIs tell you? Is L4/5 your only pain generator? You've been dealing with this for 3 years and though the worlds of insurances wrangling turn too slow, I would have thought it would be settled by now.

If you were hit by a semi, I would expect them to take care of the medical bills and not your own ins co., who by the way, will more than likely turn down your request for an ADR, but keep pushing. I have heard good things about TBI and even if your insurance should come through, you might want to consider staying with them. The doctor's skill and experience has a lot to do with your ultimate outcome.

Is there any timeline yet for the clinical trials? Hang in there, I'm assuming help is on the way. Glad your children checked out OK. There's your blessing!

Good luck, Dale
