After a recent injury to my foot, and hearing about Lidocaine Patches I asked my Dr. If he could perscribe some for me. He did 30 a months worth. I have been wearng them not only on my feet, but my lower back too. ( THEY HELP!!!).
Hi,
I've had broken bones in my youth and my parents did not take me to the ER. So I suppose that made me think that the ER is for really urgent and serious life or death cases, and a broken/sprained finger/ankle/wrist etc. can be handled during a regular doctor's visit. I know that was a very...
Hello all!
First I want to say I'm sorry for turning what should be a short intro into a long one. Also, if you have trouble understanding I've had to start typing how things sound in my head and stop proofing my messages because it takes hours when I do and sometimes things turn out worse...

I received a letter from SS wanting me to go see a psychiatrist one last time before a determination is made. Should I take this as a good sign or a bad sign?

So I was sitting in the hall and my attorney came out and got me. I went and spoke with the judge and...
Hi all,
As most of you know my hearing before the ALJ is in the morning. I am super excited because I am so ready to get it behind me. The only thing that is troubling me is what I had mentioned in another post about my attorney. He never called my witness, he was supposed to call me every...
So as you all know my hearing before the judge is this Thursday and I am getting really nervous. He will be looking for any little thing he can find to deny me benefits and I am afraid I am going to say or do something that will be the one little thing he is looking for and he will deny my...
My hearing is on Thursday and I am starting to get a little nervous about my attorney.
Reason 1: I met with him in mid October and he told me he would call me every week to see how I am doing. I have not heard from him at all.
