Joint problems are the #1 reason for disability claims. In this video I discuss joints, with the exception of the spine. How to present your joint problem case for the best chance of success.

Worked my entire life and never thought I'd end up in this situation and really came into this predicament clueless. I found out all 3 of my doctors and specialists who are treating me for the same problems all have a different diagnosis listed within the record. It sure is a mess of red tape. Your videos are the best I have seen on how the process works. Thank you for the information.

Multiple different diagnoses can be a problem - because Social Security may not be able to determine which is correct. However, keep in mind, it's your work-related limitations that are most important, not your diagnoses. Always focus on how your problem make it difficult for you to work. That's what gets disability applications approved.

@@DisabilityExams I followed your advice. The Doctor seemed to be on my side which surprised me. He said filing for disability instead of regular retirement (I turned 64 today) was the right thing as I was leaving his office.

I love this guy and watch the videos with nothing pertaining to my disability. He’s funny without meaning to be.

I want to support what Dr. Foster says about to remember to mention pain to your doctors during every visit. I’m getting some of my information together for a non-Social Security type disability, and now that I’m getting in the records and charts of notes that my various doctors have given, they really did write down and document my reports of pain - and this includes doctors that were not even treating that particular condition (sort of auxiliary information when they asked how I had been doing ) It’s good to have the documentation notes across the several practitioners I have because each practitioner lists my existing known conditions. I was surprised at how much information they were documenting and transcribing after every visit.

Good point! Just did another disability exam - patient talked about their MRIs, never mentioned the had pain, finally I had to ask - which gets frustrating at times. If you have pain, tell the doctor! And if the pain is made worse by work-related activities, tell the doc that too! That really helps your disability claim.

I had total knee replacement on one knee and am still suffering from chronic pain and muscle weakness. My other knee is in need of total knee replacement.
