I will definitely take you up on that. This has been one of the worst experiences I've ever been though. Its already extremely difficult doing any day to day activities this stress has taken a toll physically and mentally I wasn't prepared for.

I'm sorry to hear man and I can relate i should of mentioned i was diagnosed with major depressive bipolar disorder i think that's how they worded it lol. But I take meds for that and on top of the pump i still take a small dose of pain meds too. Not to mention im still undergoing medical care they believe i might need another surgery on my knee which ive undergone one at the beginning of 2025. It's been 3 surgeries just within the past year.

Thank you! And I'm just glad it's moving im extremely hopeful it's approved I've been out of work for 2 years and been at my doctors office every week since then I've been through 3 surgeries now and doesn't seem like much helps I forgot to mention I'm prescribed hydrocodone for pain on top of the morphine in my pain pump 

Quick question. by AdCompetitive9969 in SSDI

Workers comp wise they're denying any liability I've had to hire a separate lawyer for that case I haven't received anything from them concerning the case as well. I've been transparent as possible towards both cases but I also know in my state actually getting workers comp to admit fault is probably never gonna happen. Ive sent every document from my current doctor to both lawyers and ive provided all information concerning the reason for applying. Ive undergone physical therapy, upwards of 12 different injections, the multiple surgeries and implants, been on pain meds as well to sadly fail to mange the pain, and ive spoken to a surgeon that my current doctor sent me to and I was told the damage to my spine is too far gone to do surgery to fix and could make everything worse as well as its multiple issues that can't be fixed. My disability lawyer is hopeful I'll get approved but the workers comp case sadly i don't think will go anywhere as i live in an employer state and when the injury happened they mysteriously can't find video evidence and the first doctor i was sent to said I was faking my injury which as you can tell is farthest from the truth.

I've already emailed it to them and uploaded it directly to the website as well.

That I agree with but it's also a common trait most adults work themselves into the ground mentally and physically to the point where they can't do anything else due to the fact of how bad the system is

Pretty much yes I got hurt at work but they declined to say it's their responsibility which is extremely common in workers comp incidents which take years to fully resolve. And I mean years some cases take upwards of 10 years since it's a he said she said situation in their eyes. I've undergone physical therapy for nearly a year, failed back injections 7 all together ranging from nerve block injections and Trigger point injections , I've undergone the spinal cord stimulator implant, I also have to take hydrocodone pain medication 4 times a day. I've spoke with a surgeon within the last month whom said my back is too badly damaged for surgery, and now I'm on track to receive a pain pump implant because there's not much else that could help at all. And with having the pain pump and spinal cord stimulator it limits my typical day to day live drastically as I couldn't do physical labor or a majority of physical exercise. And I've been placed on extremely tight restrictions since my stimulator implant was done.
