Erika's Medical Testing and Treatment

Hi, thank you for reading!
 
Almost three years ago I suffered multiple severe injuries that led to disabling and debilitating pain. I left New York and flew to Arizona to heal, and while some progress has been made, I’m still fighting for a diagnosis and successful treatment plan. 
 
As of now we believe it’s Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction and Nerve Damage in my tailbone but am still undergoing tests and trial and error treatment plans to figure out the root of everything. To start we’re doing prolo therapy injections and they’re done in a series of 4 rounds. Due to insurances not covering this treatment and the cost to travel to another city to get these done each round ends up around $1200 with living expenses, additional medical bills, copays, physical therapy, X-rays, MRIs, and everything else in between. An additional 4 rounds may also be needed depending on how the first 4 did. 
 
I have a great medical team but unfortunately can’t keep up with the costs and the pain is so severe I’m unable to walk, bend, lift or move without constant sharp, burning, pain. Due to how severe and unique my condition is I have to take time off of work to fully focus on healing.
 
 I pray that I’ll be able to find a solution and get back to walking, working, and eventually performing again pain free. Any donation, no matter the size, is more than helpful.
 
Thank you!
