<p>I have been suffering from back pains since around about September 2013. Every year I would go see doctors and they would recommend pain medication, physiothe******s, biokenetics, x-rays, chiropractor treatments but none of the above have been able to relieve the pain.</p> <p> </p> <p>I constantly feel the pain everyday whether I am running, driving, sitting down or any other activity. The challenge is every year my savings will be depleted without me getting any relief.</p> <p> </p> <p>On the 11 of April 2017, I went to my GP for the same issue. She recommended that I see an Orthopedic, however my funds are already depleted and I don’t have any money to finance the Orthopedic and the treatment that might follow. I have been to Netcare and they performed x-rays and blood tests but the x-ray results and blood tests showed no signs of bone disorder or arthritis conditions.</p> <p> </p> <p>The GP said that the Orthopedic might want to do an MRI scan or CT scan.</p> <p> </p> <p>Considering that these scans are very expensive and I have exhausted all my funds trying to get answers for these back pains, Is there a possibility that these treatments may be covered as Chronic Illness so that I don’t have to use my everyday out of hospital benefits for these?</p> <p> </p> <p>I am really suffering and I see each day as it passes its very difficult to live with pain everyday.</p> <p> </p> <p>Looking forward to hear your answers and I hope it will be helpful.</p>
