Comment on I have a small problem with my hearing, but it's night-time right now and I'm not sure if I should go to the ER right now, or wait till morning. Advice?

  I’m in the US, and I just started going to the doc in my whole adult life. My arms are bricked up, tingling, and spasms. Doc says it’s carpal tunnel, which checks out. I can’t afford anything beyond my general care atp. Apparently I’ll need surgery and physical therapy asap, I work with my hand in the trades. I’d be screwed without them as I have zero savings, etc. The doc gave me referrals with nowhere to go. I asked and they said “well your insurance is tricky, find somewhere”. Lovely!

  I understand that this is the place and times I exist in, but hell if I can’t bitch about it (:

    You should be looking into short term disability insurance.
