Did you have to have any resections or surgical renewals?That’s what I had! I don’t think mine ever bleed though
Good luck bro! Took me about a year to fully recover from the damage I caused to myself
Nah, mine reabsorbed..I wish I could have have some treatment..I felt terrible for a year and would have loved to speed that upDid you have to have any resections or surgical renewals?
Thanks man. Surgery is in august, gotta let the hematoma naturally subside a bit.You had surgery to remove it? Hope you start feeling better soon.
Do they have medication you take to help shrink it down?Thanks man. Surgery is in august, gotta let the hematoma naturally subside a bit.
Weirdly no. I have a mild painkiller, a muscle relaxer (had a very bad seizure in the hospital), and a mix of antibiotics.Do they have medication you take to help shrink it down?
Yeah, I hit my out of pocket max in February with my big 7 hour surgery. I get surgery again next month and thats "free". Last surgery billed at $100,000 and this next may be a bit more. Just the defibrillator itself, the part, is like $60,000.Weirdly no. I have a mild painkiller, a muscle relaxer (had a very bad seizure in the hospital), and a mix of antibiotics.
fun story, when I was totally awake they gave a local numbing agent to my ribs and blasted a dose a fentanyl into my IV and said “okay stay still” while proceeding to slam a 5 inch needle into my hematoma to drain a bit of the abscess.
from what they drained, I don’t have any scary bugs or anything growing, so they’re letting my body simply reabsorb it. I’ll have some pretty frequent checkups to ensure I’m on track.
On a side note, I hit my yearly insurance OOPM, so anything in a moving forward is basically free. I might say fuck it and get a couple other procedures this fall (need some work on my knee and shoulder) once this all settles.
Great advice. Mine is a touch higher at $8k, but we hit it, and thankfully I work at a job where I can just cut a check and forget about it. Since I can’t lift heavy for a long time, might as well just get everything done in the next 6 months.Yeah, I hit my out of pocket max in February with my big 7 hour surgery.

Take advantage of it and get all your needed work done this year. As long as the doctor views it as not being an elective surgery, it will be paid for. Same with your wife and kids. I'm sure you hit the family out of pocket max. Our's is just $6000.
