F 27 I’ve had this issue for more than a month. Sharp pain in my left hip and knee. The hip part feels close to my lower back, almost like it’s in the socket. It seemed to be getting better, but today it just got worse again. I’ve got an appointment with my primary care doctor in a month ( the earliest I can be seen ), but I don’t want to wait that long.
I thought about seeing a chiropractor, since years ago one helped me with back and neck pain after an accident, but I’m afraid if being injured.
I’ve never been good with doctors and don’t have much money. I’m on Obama care in FL.
Any advice or kind words? Thanks for reading 😔😌❤️
It might be different where you live, but my experience is that pain clinics are unlikely to take a walk-in patient. Because of the risk of painkiller abuse [insert an eyeroll here], almost all pain clinics require a referral from another doctor with a diagnosis for whatever is causing the pain.
FYI: urgent cares should take Obamacare insurance. If you’re worried about cost you can call and ask if they take your insurance and how much their co-pay is, if any.
