About a month ago I carried some really heavy groceries on my shoulders. That somehow messed up my neck badly. Went to PCP who examined me, prescribed meds and referred me to an orthopedic specialist. All good so far.
Went to the specialist the next day. As soon as he found out the pain started from a grocery trip and I’m relatively young, he closed up the charts and said, “this is no big deal… you’ll be fine. A lot of folks are suffering from neck pain due to working from home”. He performed no neurological or physical exam on me. I asked him if there’s any preventative measures I can take to prevent any musculoskeletal problem in future. He literally told me to google the exercises.
I have a high deductible plan with Cigna through my employer. So I did get charged for the whole visit.
I’m wondering if there’s anything I can do at all for basically paying a LOT of money just to be told to “google” the solution to my physical problems?
I’m located in New York.
Thanks I’m advance!
