Finally saw another orthopedic surgeon who not only accepts patients without insurance but only charges them half his regular rate. He signed off on my blue placards and they've come in handy.Mike1951 wrote:It has occurred to me that I might have another option. Although I haven't needed him in years, I have an excellent podiatrist who has treated conditions with the right foot. The right ankle is getting weaker and is getting worse about rolling to the inside. Stepping on a rock or an uneven surface will cause a stumble or even a fall. Without the cane, there would be many falls.
He's a really great guy and I think he would accept a prepayment without insurance being an issue.
I owe Pawpaw for his link here viewtopic.php?f=83&t=57084&p=700481&hil ... ce#p700406" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; that steered me to an ankle brace that is both comfortable and easy to use. I spent $25 on the first one. When I saw it worked, I paid $20 each for two more.
Thanks, Pawpaw!!
