An Unexpected Chapter The human body was not built for auto accidents. When a person’s back and neck go literally from stop to 20 miles per hour in an instant, permanent damage can happen. And even though we all think that we know what a whiplash injury can do, or even what a traumatic brain injury can do, there’s evidence that people understate the duration and the potential suffering that can occur, especially when undertreated. We not only tend to downplay the severity of injuries caused by auto accidents, we understate the duration–the permanence–that can happen when it comes to the neck a ..read more

A variety of medical conditions can cause breathing difficulties due to poor oxygen intake and circulation. Being unable to breathe causes fatigue, chest tightness, palpitations, etc. A person cannot perform basic work activities when limited from basic breathing. Some conditions, like asthma, are easily treated with steroid inhalers that open up the pulmonary pathways in the lungs. Others are not.  Regardless of what diagnosis is affecting your breathing, a strong case involving this medical condition typically charts the following course: Referrals: Establish care with a Cardiologist ..read more

For many of our clients, this problem began gradually and over many years until it finally became impossible to perform basic work activities. Neck pain limited some of them from fully looking side-to-side and up-to-down. It made it impossible to sit at a computer desk all day or to carry a box full of printer paper. Regardless of the diagnosis causing your neck pain, a strong case involving this medical condition typically charts the following course: Referrals: Establish care with an orthopedic specialist and a pain management specialist. Your primary care physician can refer you to one. S ..read more

Every case of breast cancer is a life-changing experience for every woman afflicted by it. Fortunately, more women than ever are surviving and recovering from it. Unfortunately, the road to victory over breast cancer is time-consuming, expensive, and debilitating.  The breast organs affected by cancer have little relation to a woman’s ability to complete basic work activities–but the treatments we have to fight the cancer certainly do. Many judges are sympathetic to symptoms of nausea, headaches, vomiting, diarrhea, fatigue, dyspnea, and bodily pain that typically result from radiation an ..read more

Unfortunately, being unable to hear in one or both ears is usually not enough to win a disability case by itself. Many people work in non-industrial work settings with hearing aids like cochlear implants. But in combination with other conditions negatively affecting the body, you still may have a chance to build a strong case.  A strong case involving this medical condition typically charts the following course: Referrals: Ask your primary physician for a referral to an audiologist Exam: Take the audiology exam. Compliance: Wear hearing aids (if prescribed) to every medical appointment ..read more

This is one of the most psychologically devastating conditions we encounter when representing clients. It often leads to poor performance reviews and strained family relationships. It is quite unfortunate that we live in the world’s most advanced economy, with its most advanced medical technologies, and yet we still understand so little about the organ lying right between our two ears. Whatever your exact diagnosis is, the challenge in building a strong case is struggling to remember to tell a doctor that you cannot remember specific things. Delays in treatment often occur because of this iss ..read more

Digesting food may have little obvious connection with completing basic work activities, but the pain from consuming food and drink can be debilitating. If you are experiencing significant pain from your stomach and abdominal areas, then this could affect workplace productivity due to requiring extra breaks to rest and use the restroom.  Many of our clients also reported spending all day in their bedrooms due to the severity of symptoms.

Regaining Comfort: Pursuing Social Security Disability with Shoulder Pain

For many of our clients, this problem began gradually and over many years until it finally became impossible to perform basic work activities. Shoulder pain limits you from reaching onto shelves to restock inventory. It limits you from reaching to grab that critical item found in the far back cabinet. It challenges you to lift everything in your workplace with your only good arm. Many of our clients experienced a rapid decline in their non-dominant arm (due to compensating and overuse) after they developed pain in the dominant arm and shoulder. Regardless of the diagnosis causing your shoulde ..read more
