ive been diaganosed a few years ago. my daily life has come to a screeching halt. dressing, cooking, sitting, standing it doesnt matter what i do i am in pain. i filed for disability a while back and was denied 4 times yet my condition seems to be getting worse. doctors for the most part dont understand what it is and lets be honest the ssa has zero clue. thank god i got a doctor finally who understands it and understands what im going through. riverview pain clinic in anoka, mn. i have taken over 30 perscriptions to try and ease the pain and nothing has worked. pt feels amazing mostly the soft tissue massage but my last visit my therapist said he was scared to do it as my back was having 1000 spasms a min. cant afford pt anymore, cant pay my mounting doctors bills but the ssa judge thinks im full of it and trying to work the system. i walk with a cane (should be using 2 hiking sticks but cant afford to get them) i have a handicap parking permit and i have left the house less than a half dozen times in past 5 years for an activity other than a doctors visit. HOW CAN SUCH A CRIPPLING DIAGANOSIS BE SUCH A MYSTORY TO SO MANY?
