i'm just asking for a general opinion.

i have recently come to a point were i can not work my back hurts all the time an on some days i have to walk with a cane. i am almost always doped up on wat ever pain killer i can get ahold of. basicly im asking, is disability a option i should look into, how do i go about the process?

Have you seen a neurologist about it? Or an orthopedic doctor?

do to your doctor.

start there.

then consider disability.

i have not had the money to do that. i am currently paying off my recent medical misshap. i got a infection in my right lung n it messed me up bad i was forced by my family to get to the hospital. with this issue it has been escalating for 5 years it started with my left hip n moved up to my lower back.

1. if the pain is really that bad... which i believe it is cause back pain suuuuucks. then yes.

2. you will need many doctor's appointments.

3. if it was caused by something done through work then you're also entitled to workmans compensation.

4. you can find information on it through the same .gov site as the social security site i believe. but if not a doctor should be able to tell you how and where to look into it.

and finally i do believe they do disability on a case by case basis. and only if it is not correctable. Yet i am pretty sure they compensate you while you are recoverying, but only temporarily.

Is there a free or income based clinic anywhere near you? You need to be seen! There could be a simple cure.

Also, if you were to file for disability, you need medical records showing that you are disabled.

i will look in to the clinics. i have records of issues that affect my work status arthritus of the knees n ankles is there is among that list. being hit by a truck an not being properly treated is wat most of my physical issues r derived from, i think.i keep in shape. my parents just called me a puss wen it all started.

Please have yourself looked at.

Ask for the neurologist or the orthopedic surgeon. I'm thinking neurologist though.

i agree with the nurology when i really get to hurtin i get dizzy flashes n it hurts to stand sit, or even lay down. know there r ppl with bigger issues so i dont want to sound like im whineing. im just statin wat im goin through. i just took 3 500 mg pain pills n im still feeling stif n sore.

They should be able to help. Then you won't have to have the pain anymore.

i messed up my back when i was 18 and it got to where i couldn't sleep at night. i ended up going to a chiropracter. i never believed in them until that first treatment. in a few months he had me as good as new.

you may want to consider seeing one.

thanx. i decided to bump this project to tommarows list b fore i look into anymore jobs.

Cool. You deserve no less.
