Osteoarthritis Long Term Disability Claim

[@dorothyroby9689]

They don’t understand the pain that u have everyday. Walking, standing, OMG going up stairs is a bad mess. People who have not walked these shoes don’t know how we feel. Sleepless nights and pain all days, it is bad. And the disability judge should understand when ruling on your claim for disability, we know how we feel. Knees all swollen and get stiff on u and u barely can move, it is a real live mess. God bless us all who is going through this horrible thing.

Osteoarthritis and the impact of flexibility of joint also affects work accuracy and speed (even regardless of pain level) - it would be helpful if workplaces were vocal with that assertion! For example, with finger osteoarthritis, the accuracy of keyboarding, and the amount of time it takes to correct mistakes constantly in a fast paced environment inconveniences everyone AND cause even more pain to the patient. An employer may be appropriately required to accommodate that worker, which, of course, makes sense for people who want to keep their jobs, but now the employer has to hire another person to get the rest of the work done or just deal with reduced output, when patient’s disability claims are denied. That doesn’t seem fair to anyone!

It does not have anything to do with them understanding the pain or difficulty that people truly experience with arthritises or any other serious illness. The disability claiming process has everything to do with resisting payouts and holding on to money that's rightfully a citizen's to draw on in the time of life altering health conditions. It's simply a design that slows down the passing of sand through the pinched part of the hourglass ⏳; and they hope you'll give up on staking your claim or they count on you not living long if you are awarded disability. They train SS employees to find ways to deter the help you need and have put in for. Makes you wonder what other financial mischief our government is up to while they pick reasons not to give it to those who clearly are in need. 🤔 They really need to have disabled persons on the determining board that can help balance the decision making since they wanna act like they can't understand. Its not just the pain alone either but its also the missed opportunity to even be considered for a job. Alot of jobs won't or can't accommodate in ways that are affective to do the required work for a shortened amount if time that a person may be able to do at their own pace, nor will it be lucrative enough at short hours for an ill individual to gave sufficient financial gain. Its just not right.

I already had osteoarthritis in my right knee, I now have it in my ankle due to being hit by a truck, and 2 screws in ankle. I have a deformity of the distal fibular diaphysis. This is painful. People just don't understand.

[@pamelamcfadden337]

I use Cannabis for my pain. Try the oils in edibles Ubprofern can contribute to heart attacks in people over 40 Tylenol can cause Liver damage. Stop taking these over the counter poisons.

I am 44 and have osteoarthritis in my spine. It is painful and I recently had to quit my job being a barber for 27 years! I am terrified of what’s to come. I barely leave my house because I am always in pain and am very depressed! daily chores are excruciating sometimes.. would it be worth me filing for a disability claim? I need help I don’t know what to do!

[@DisabilityAttorneys]

Fawn, do you have a group or individual disability policy? If so, you should certain file a claim. If you do not, you may be eligible for state disability benefits or Federal Social Security Disability benefits. I suggest you contact our office and speak with one of the attorneys to address your specific questions regarding your situation.

[@VGDC-xl9ty]

Heidi Khattak 😢 spinal pain sucks

[@Michelle-qd9gm]

Heidi Khattak I have this and cancer pain and chronic nerve pain omg very painful I can’t stand it so I know how you feel 😞

[@dallasdavis3246]

right the ones judging the pain are the ones who want everyone to be zombies on drugs for the rest of their life while the ones who actually did a physiclal labor are hurting while the office dwellers only hurt when get a paper cut

[@bestiefswlady5251]

Even though I am myself and one of those office type workers (although suffering from osteoarthritis, radiculopathy, stenosis, etc) . I fully agree with you! The more things I watch and listen to, it shocks me how many people who’ve had very physically demanding jobs are still denied disability even though their bodies are a lot more beaten up, by all the physical demands, but also by working in the elements as well! and for people in construction, and that sort of thing, taking drugs, that interfere with their mental and physical functioning is downright DANGEROUS… it’s so unfair to you all.

[@traceysuggers2201]

I am suffering severely chronic severely in pain 24 seven every day okay I have a health problems on top of it now as well but before I had all my have a health conditions on top of my osteoarthritis I couldn’t do anything and it’s very hard for me to task and do anything specially when it is in the whole of my body it is from the neck down in my spine in my neck arms elbows legs feet ankle I’ve got it it is severe and it is a serious case I know people that I’ve got osteoarthritis in different types of arthritis and I have seen them how they suffer just like me you ain’t in the body you don’t know what Our bodies are doing to us you’re not inside us if you lived in our bodies for a day you would know and feel the suffering and pain is that we have to go through

[@debdixon5800]

Im appealing my case now both knees are bone to bone im 59yrs old will be 60yrs old next month im waiting on a answer from them they have worked 40% so far

[@travelssize]

I have osteoarthritis in my ankles ,knees,hip and elbow It is hard to walk after about an hour at work by the end of the night I could cry. I am on blood thinner for a heart valve I have. I can not take meds that mess with my blood and I am allergic to all steroids. It is getting worse as I get older. I am 52 and I don't want to loose everything I worked for. I don't know what to do

[@DisabilityAttorneys]

If you have a disability policy and doctor support than you would be eligible to apply for benefits.

[@heatherrichardson9914]

I've had osteoarthritis since I was 18 and 7 knee surgeries since I was 16 and currently have torn cartilage but doctor said a surgery would only be to clean it up. I got denied

[@golferpro1241]

Get back to work

[@thehammer810able]

So I have arthritis in both low back and my sacrum joint which is the tailbone area. So I can't sit and stand, and bend for long periods of time and I have a hard time putting my socks on. It's constant dull pain and stiffness. I don't see it possible to substain a job unless I become very selective which is a very chance getting a job in my condition.

[@kron277]

I have the exact same condition good luck going forward

[@kevinrichardson-n2l]

you gotta lie just like the Law and lawyers, judges do is FUCKING LIE

[@thepoboy9698]

How would you start a pain journal, what should it include?

[@DisabilityAttorneys]

Johnny: Great question, the easiest thing to do is to take any calendar and each day write how you feel in the morning, afternoon and evening. You should document the different levels based on low, medium or high. You should also document some activities that you found hard to do during the day. Also document how long you slept without interruption and if you woke up due to pain.

[@adelawilliam1094]

What are these remedies natural for osteoarthritis

[@stuffle69]

I had total hip replacement and nerve damage from surgery will take 3-9 months to heal walk with walker or cane at this time would I be able to get short term disability? My job consist of walking and stairs.

[@DisabilityAttorneys]

If your employer provides or you have a private disability policy then you would certainly have the ability to make a claim for benefits.

[@adelawilliam1094]
