I think we're both thinking the same thing about prolotherapy: might help, might really mess up your other symptoms.

Have you thought about going outside of the country for the rhizo? I know everyone thinks of doing that for surgery but Laura had a two level rhizo done by a doc in Regensburg for about $3-5k US if I remember right. It's a stiff price but it might allow you time to deal with each problem in turn if you could get one under control short-term. I only suggest that because it might let you get off the insurance merry-go-round.
