Painful conditions are the number one cause of people seeking Social Security Disability, but many people make serious mistakes in describing their pain. I go over common mistakes, and how to describe your pain the best possible way in order to get your disability claim approved.

I appreciate your channel. This one helped me a lot. This will help me focus instead of explaining things that are useless to the doctor. Thank you.

Glad to hear it. I'm looking for suggestions for future videos - have you got one? When is comes to explaining things to the doctor the absolute most important is you must explain how your medical issues make it hard for you to work. So many patients I see fail to do so. That really hurts their chances of having their disability claim approved.

Fibromyalgia is debilitating and can be constant for some people.

One issue I don’t see mentioned much is about narcotic pain med dosage timing and storage at work. What if the RX does indeed help the pain AND you think that you can function fairly well, but it’s necessary to let it “wear off” before driving home thus making pain greater at end of day? What if a person can do a four hour day but not necessarily an eight hour day? I realize this is more of an SSA issue; I just sometimes wish they would realize that not all employers will give the accommodations necessary in terms of a shortened today or allowing remote work for part of the day after a long rest time. Dr Foster - thank you for all of these uploads :-) I realize you can’t really answer for the SSA, I’m just putting this out here to see if any of your subscribers have any thoughts or responses.

I've talked about medication in other videos. Side effects of prescribed medication, such as drowsiness, forgetfulness, or difficulty focusing DEFINITELY count towards disability, and should be mentioned at your Social Security exam. That's most common with pain and anxiety medication, but some other meds cause similar problems.

Thank you for yet another useful and informative video! Your videos get better every time. Question: Does it matter to the examining physician if you have conditions or symptoms that are new? I.e., Conditions that were not part of the submission to SSA? Perhaps a better way to ask is “Do you check to see if the conditions listed for SSA and conditions mentioned by the patient?”

@DisabilityExams Жыл бұрын

Yes - I check the conditions listed on the Social Security application AND any other conditions the patient mentions - and I often find disabling conditions not mentioned on the application OR by the patient! My job is to find and describe ALL disabling conditions a patient may have.

I'm sorry but I can't advise you about that. I don't work with attorneys or testify in court as a medical expert. All I do is Social Security Consultative Examinations.

I have one kidney and scoliosis does that consider a disability

@DisabilityExams Жыл бұрын

What counts is do those problems affect your ability to work? Always keep in mind - Social Security Disability requires you have medical problems which impair your ability to work.

That sounds more like a medical diagnosis.
