I have a prescription for Synthroid, but insurance won't cover it because there is a generic available. I don't mind paying out of pocket, but will it be cheaper one place over another?

I had a outpatient surgery in May that my doctor had recommended but I told him that I could only do it if my insurance covered it. He had the billing nurse call my insurance and they told me that it would only cost a $50 co-payment. Since then I have changed jobs and therefore changed insurance companies. Now I have a bill for $144 saying that my insurance only covered a portion. I don't know if they are charging me now because by the time it processed I was no longer under that insurance? Are they allowed to do this after the fact? Do I have any rights to get rid of the bill?

I had a pain on both sides in my neck two weeks ago. Because I had a wrist pain last year and after 3 visits to the physio(nhs) sorted that out, the trouble was in the neck, I tought I should go and have whatever hurts now sorted again.
Yesterday I went to a physio(private).Today I am so sore that I can hardly move. I was told that I had 3 dislocated discs in my neck and a muscle lock under my sholder blade, what ever that means. My discs have been out for some time and according to this physio(private) last year they were not put back in to place by the other physio(nhs) when they should have. I have no idea how or when I dislocated these discs but I feel a lot worse today than before I went for the treatment. I screamed my head off during this treatment. Need to go again in two weeks and I am not sure if I should. Could he be hurting me so I go back and pay more or is he doing better job since I am paying?
How do you dislocate discs in your neck, appart from being in a accident?

Since carpal tunnel is something you get from typing all the time (well, for me at least) is it consider a work related injury? My hands and arms ache all the time and even keep me awake at night. Any thoughts?

As a teenager I had bad acne, and never touched my face, but still ended up with a lot of scarring. Did any one have this problem and was able to eliminate them or significantly reduce them? Iam married with 3 children so I live a normal life. But I still hate to see these marks on my face, and my long time dream is to get rid of them or at least reduce them somewhat.
Thank you

I have this problem about burping. It's like air is being kept in my stomach (it's uncomfortable for me and i feel like i am bloated) and after some time I would burp and it will give me relief. After that, the cycle of "air-keeping and burping" will just go on and on,
Thanks a lot!

I've already put on Gold Bond, but heals more than making it stop itch. And it will take at least 2 days before it's healed. In the mean time, how do I stop it from itching?
And another additional question: How come sometimes Mosquito Bites just appear, and you didn't even relize you were bitten?

Hello,
I am 25years old and for the last 9 months i have had swollen lymph nodes on booth sides of my neck.
The left sides worse though and now i can feel a big one that is around near my voice box.
I see an ENT dr, but he keeps telling me to come back every few months and i don't feel right.
I ahve had a few ultrasounds and they all show the mass of different sized lymph nodes and the CT scan shows them as well.
I am going for anothe ultrasound next month then seeing him again in Oct.
My question is has anybody gone through this, and what was the outcome?
I get cold real easily, my voice gets crocky i can't yell properly, i find it hard to swollow things like cake, bread ect and i can't drink fast (scull) when i lift my head up.
My throats not sure, but i touch one of the lumps near my voice box it feels tender.
What do think it is?
The last ultrasound about 2 months ago, showed one of the nodes is just over 1cm now.
Ta anyhelp would be appreciated.
Thankyou

Hi,
I was just wondering if anyone could give me some idea of what this could be? For the last year i've been practically housebound,sometimes even bed ridden, and havn't been able to do much. My bones seem to have become very weak and they keep cracking? I always feel extremely weak and my body aches alot also. I suffer from very severe depression and i know thats probably whats made me feel so weak.
I'm only 15 so i don't think it could be brittle bones or anything?
Would calcium supplements stop my bones from cracking so much?
Thanks x

Every couple of months I get this severe pain in my abdomen. I am a 14 year old girl and it is just below my chest, it is a sharp pulsating pain that lasts anywhere between 10 minutes and 40. They hurt so bad that I cannot breathe and feel nauseous, it suddenly gets really hot (even in the wintertime) and I begin to sweat. My mom knows about it, but doesn't know what to do and when I asked my doctor about it she said it was gas, but it isn't because it is higher than that and hurts to intensely.
When I get them, I can't walk, can't move and just curl up on the floor and wait for it to pass. A few times I have thrown up but that may have been me getting sick, I'm not sure, I am normally one of the healthiest people I know and almost never get sick.
I am terrified that one day I will get these pains somewhere else than home and I don't know what I'd do, they hurt so bad, they are impossible to hide.
I would really appreciate any help or advice on what is causing this and how to help it.
