Answer 1

Hi Laura - I'd get a second opinion and bring all the supportive paperwork you have (borrow x-rays from doctors, history and physical/H&Ps, etc) to the second doctor who will hopefully be more cooperative in filling out the paperwork for your disabilities. You said you have been told not to work for more than 4 hours a day; whoever told you this needs to document it for you.

For training, you might look into a healthcare-related class such as medical coding (constant demand) and/or medical transcription. You can do one or both from your home, which would take some of the pressure off you. God bless you and good luck.

Answer 2

Go to your local social security office and pick up an application for disability. They will give you all of the forms you need to fill out. One of them should be a form for your doctor to fill out. The rest you fill out. If your doctor refuses to help you, then you should go to another one. I know that I would not want a doctor that doesn't help me.

Answer 3

If he has told you not to work more than 4 hours a day, then you should be able to get disability. Talk to a lawyer.

Answer 4

Yea another doctor.

Answer 5

get a disability lawyer...many of them dont charge unless you win the case..and a lawyer can light a fire under your doctor's rump.

Answer 6

Answer 7
