I had the anterior approach, less invasive muscle sparing surgery. I went home in less than 24 hours walking with a walker. It was great that my pain I had with each step before surgery was gone. I didn’t need any Physical Therapy and returned to work in less than 4 weeks.

I was so lucky to get my surgery before the COVID shit hit the fan. I’m sorry you are having problems with insurance; if they close your claim you may have no choice but to pursue legal action. Is there a Commissioner of Insurance office in your state that can assist? I’m in Wisconsin and got help from them with a problem in the past.
