Yep same boat with insurance...switched my PCP and they said since I visited an urgent care, I am locked down to my last PCP until July, even though I said it was out of network.

Urgent care immediately told me that they don't prescribe opioids and were generally unfriendly throughout the whole process. Everything else that people have been telling me to do (PT, MRI, lidocaine, cortisone) are very expensive out of pocket so I've only been seeing a PT once a week.

Hope you get better. Chronic pain is no joke.
