Throughout all of this I am on a walker. I can move around short distances without it but fall alot. My leg has drop foot and I have to wear a brace for now on. Now from being on the walker my wrist are having to have surgery. Left one finished next will be the right. I have been this way 12/04/2006. My docter has no clue what else he can do for me. Also I have had the right hip replaced as well. Three surgerys on that one. What are the chances for ssd for me? The walker will never go away is what I am told.

I understand what it is to like to be in pain, unable to work, and trying to keep the fear level down about your outcome while waiting months on end of ALJ hearning. I am going through that now. I am curious why you think you lost your case and what you think could have changed the outcome. Hi Joel

I know we had a bad Judge,but she can't ignore the mountian of fact's..please take a look at the Decision and give your potential client's a realistic expetation of a well documented medical history that failed,and WHY it failed..

She has really never worked much and would not qualify for SSD. She has multiple listed conditions. Herein lies the problem, she doesn't want help, lives for free and always has with my now elderly mother, and is in denial. The other big problem is that the medical records, which are often supplied on a CD, are incomplete, inconclusive and rarely discuss diagnoses and never prognoses. How do you effectively deal with litigation-phobic medical system that seems to produce vague medical records? My sister has finally been talked into designating my mother as a representative.
