The VA is much better for meds and braces and shots, etc. The big problem with the VA system is they don't have the personnel to perform your procedures: epidurals, surgeries, MRIs, consults with specialists.
I have been waiting for 3 months to get MRIs at VA La Jolla. I am set for June 27th, 2024. BUT, then I'll have to wait 'til pigs fly to be seen again by an Orthopedic Surgeon. I HOPE I can get some spinal surgeries to ease or eliminate the pinched nerve neck torture. How long could that wait be?
Life with all these malfunctions isn't really life. Fingers crossed.
