Osteoporosis Feedback: We do research on the problems where medicines fail; everything without medicines and our success is around 90%.
Medicines fail means meds are not the treatment but it needs something else. Can you try it?
Osteoporosis Feedback: Getting disability isn’t that easy you know. They will want to train you for different work. I know I have been down this path. The stenosis has to be pretty bad to get disability for it. I have severe spinal stenosis with much nerve damage. I also have three herniated discs plus degenerative disc and joint disease. I worked artificially inseminating cattle. It took me 23 years to find someone who would listen to me and believe I had something wrong and to order an MRI.Once that came back then came all the apologies of how sorry the doctors were and of course you are having pain. Unfortunately for me it is too late as there is so much nerve damage. I was sent to several specialists whom all say I will end up in a chair. It took me 4 years to get disability and then only because I had a lawyer and was able to prove that there is no way for me to tell from one day to the next if there will be enough feeling in my legs to walk or not. Some days yes and some no and you have no way of knowing when. On that account I was given permanent disability.They made me go to classes to train me to do something else and I would stay as long as I possibly could stand the pain from having to sit there and end up leaving. It was awful the things they made me go through. I would much rather be working and have worked when I had to literally crawl through the barn the last day.I wish you good luck with whatever you decide. Surgery would not be a wise choice in my opinion. I have three friends who did it and not one is glad they did. I found a good chiropractor was the most benefit. At least they can keep the nerve pain gone and thats a big plus.
Osteoporosis Feedback: These are chronic, debilitating conditions; I suspect probably brought on by your occupation. If you remain at work it will only exacerbate your pain response. Your health is all you can take with you in the end. If your supervisor cannot transfer you to something moreover accommodating to your title as well as disability then its would be better to train for a line of lower impact work if you cannot afford to quit work.
Osteoporosis Feedback: they so many ways to fix your disc. but when you have degenerative disc,its hard to get anyones help. i do nothave a good vertabrea in my back. i couldn,t hardly walk. iwas in a wheel-chair. now i have a morphine pain pump that goes to my spine. now i can walk. i am disabled.
