Charter Health Crowd

I was referred to the nearest orthopedic surgeon in October, but have not yet been contacted. I opted to go to Specialist Referral Clinic so that I could get on the waiting list (Jan 27). I have just been informed that I may be on the fall schedule, Sept to Dec. My pain is excruciating, and I don't want to go on addictive pain killers. It looks like we will have to mortgage the house to get the surgery done in the US. At 68 years old, I am not happy with our system!
