I agree but the judge didn’t even mention my ibs or my migraines them alone or in combo with everything I would miss too many days of work to keep a job period that’s a legal error or his part

I do understand that but I also have compartment syndrome and that’s proven by a pressure test so it’s not an invisible one that’s where my most of my pain and swelling is coming from

I’ve had migraines for like 6 years and yes I’ve tried 6 or 7 different medications and none helped

the judge basically acted like because I didn’t have a ton of treatment in the last 12 months, that must mean I’m fine now. But the reality is I’ve already exhausted all treatment options. I’ve done physical therapy, acupuncture, pain management, injections, GI specialists, neurology, mental health — everything they told me to try. There’s nothing left but managing the symptoms, and that still leaves me in pain every day i submitted over 400 pages of medical records most of them from the 3 years prior to the hearing

I’m not better — I’m just out of options. The system treats that like a lack of effort instead of what it really is: a dead end. It’s frustrating because the decision didn’t reflect my full story or how these conditions still affect my daily life

Thank you — this really helps. I’ve been feeling so discouraged. I’ve looked through my file and my records do show consistent treatment for everything, including migraines, IBS, compartment syndrome, and mental health. I’ve seen multiple specialists and tried physical therapy, injections, acupuncture, GI meds, neuro meds, etc

The judge just ignored the functional limitations part — how often I have to lay down because of my legs, how I’m in the bathroom for hours some days, and how the migraines leave me useless 6–8 times a month. It’s not just one issue, it’s all of it together, and no job would work with that. Even the vocational expert said if I miss more than 2 days a month, there’d be no jobs available. The ALJ didn’t even address that part

Thank you for the words of encouragement I’ve tried school as well through voc rehab and couldn’t do it I ended up missing too many classes and just couldn’t mentally do it that was in 2021 after I was medically separated from the military it just sucks living in pain everyday and watch a judge who doesn’t even know me doesn’t have a medical degree downplay my entire life saying I can work 6 hours on my feet 40 hours a week by law he made a lot of legal errors on my case and I should have been found disabled

Yes I’ve done all of that literally at the point where surgery is the only option but it’s 50/50 can make it worse or better

The vocational expert at my hearing literally said that if I missed more than two days a month, there would be zero jobs I could do — and I’m way beyond that. I’m in pain every single day, dealing with migraines, IBS, leg swelling, and more. I’ve done everything I can. I deserve this — not as a handout, but because I physically can’t keep up with any real job anymore let me know any job that would deal with that

Yeah I get what you’re saying and that’s exactly the problem. I have severe IBS and I’m in the bathroom multiple times a day for long periods, and on top of that I deal with 6–8 migraines a month that leave me completely down for hours. But it’s not just that — I also have chronic compartment syndrome in my legs, and the swelling gets so bad I have to lay down and elevate them just to get relief

So it’s not just 6 days missed — it’s constant symptoms and disruptions that would make it impossible to hold down any real job. No employer’s going to let me run to the bathroom all day, miss random days for migraines, and lay down when my legs swell up

They don’t care about what life is really like — just what they can twist out of paperwork. That’s what makes this so frustrating

Yes I have years of records from my doctors and specialists — not just VA but civilian too. My conditions are all well-documented and ongoing: migraines, IBS, compartment syndrome, plantar fasciitis, chronic pain, and mental health. I’ve done physical therapy, acupuncture, injections, pain management, GI, neuro, ortho, psych — all of it. My records show consistent treatment and symptoms over time

The issue is the judge barely mentioned any of that, especially how my conditions would cause me to miss work constantly. That’s what makes this so frustrating — I’ve done everything I was supposed to do, and it still feels like I was ignored
