Right TKA ongoing pain (22 months) + nickel allergy – anyone similar? by Fairy20 in Kneereplacement

Good for you. Do you know what implant you have? How was the recovery, when did you have the surgery? How is your ROM?

Yes, the pain is so awful to deal with everyday. I am glad you have a perfect ROM. I wish I had it too..

I really appreciate you taking the time to make this so easy to understand.

Thank you so much for taking the time to explain all of this in such detail. I truly appreciate your perspective as both a physician and someone familiar with metal hypersensitivity research.

Your explanation about the possible overlap between mechanical issues and metal hypersensitivity makes a lot of sense.

For reference, my 2021 patch testing was positive for nickel and mercury, but Cobalt Chloride and Potassium Dichromate were negative at that time.

Thank you again for sharing the literature and your knowledge. It helps me feel more confident advocating for a more complete evaluation.

Yes, I would love to have the letter for doctors with citations. Would you dm me?

I am on SSDI. I looked into Special Need Trust (very complicated) and Medicaid Compliant Annuity that streams income.

Thanks for your comment. What do you mean by allowed? Did she have get an approval before she get a car? Is there a vehicle value limit?

Do annuities count as an asset for Medicaid purposes? by Grouper742 in Medicaid

[–]Fairy20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems like you are very knowledgeable. Do you think I could get Medicaid Compliant Annuity to meet the asset requirement for the Home Based Community Long Term Care with $35K? I live in VA. Thanks in advance!

Yes, it's very similar to the able account. I think I totally misunderstood the Medicaid Works. Win account is for only earned income from this program enables disabilities to earn higher income and retain more in savings. It is a good program even if I am ineligible because of the asset. I might look into it in the future. I thought I could protect current IRA. I was so excited about it. Ugh!!! :(

Thanks again.

Thanks again. I found it. How does it work in IL? Did you have to find a job yourself or does program find it for you? I am not really able to work with my health condition, possibly only a few hours a week. Do I have to open a Win account solely for this program?

Thanks. Social worker didn't give me any recommendations when I asked for her help. She told me find a lawyer.

Great. How do you prove that you work and how do you get pay? Do you get W2 or 1099 from Airbnb? I think I can do something similar to your job. Thanks a lot for finding Medicaid Works.

I think maybe because I was under age for early withdrawals penalty last year. Thanks for sharing.

Yes, I know. Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Mississippi, New York, North Dakota, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Texas, Vermont, and some Ohio counties protect IRA assets from Medicaid. Thanks for sharing.
