partial disability?

Question

How do I get on partial disability? Is their an age reqirement I'm 30 yrs old and can stand on my feet very long without excruciating pain. I might have inherited my mothers "spurs" (a nick name for what makes the bones in your feet start peeling). Also my legs tend to get tight and start cramping. Please help. I don't want to go to the doctor if he's going to tell me I can't get on the partial disability.

everyone keeps telling me that spurs are in the heels of my feet. I guess I'm wrong about that. the pain I'm feeling is along the middle and inside of my feet. my husband tells my it's because i'm not use to being on them. but he just doesn't listen. It's been this way for years now. What can this be?

Answer 1

The only way you can be declared partially disabled is AFTER a doctor examines you, takes your history, and performs some tests on you. The M.D. is the one that makes that decision, not you. Heel spurs can be repaired, so I would see an orthopedist about a diagnosis and treatment options. Leg cramps are often treatable with diet, exercises, nutritional supplements, and possibly prescription medication.

You may not want to hear this if you are sure you want disability... but there are stretches that really work for bone spurs (heel spurs)
#1 Stand about two or three feet from a wall... (depends on your height and arm length) Touch the wall with your palms.
#2 Point your toes on each foot toward each other. And push your heels apart... Your feet should form a upside down V with your toes together and heels apart.
# 3 With your palms out straight and against the wall....
Start leaning into the wall (like you are doing a push up)
This should stretch you calfs and you should feel a slight burning in the heel area... hold that position for at least the count of 10 but try for 30 seconds after you get accustomed to it.
#4 Lean out and repeat proceedure again... repeat at least 5 times (that would be a "set"

Do a "set" at least twice a day (morning and night) until pain leaves totally then do one "set" a day after that.

Really be sure you are leaning and really stretching that very back of the lower leg... until you feel the slight burn.... you will notice it may take a little more and more of a lean after a few times... (Increase as the leg stretches that muscle)

IT REALLY WORKS ! I still have the "spurs" but feel absolutely no pain..... It only takes a few minutes a day and can even be done at work or while you are waiting on a bus. I do it while watching TV too.

Just because you can't stand for long periods of time does not mean you are disabled. I assume you are in the US and talking about Social security disability. Go to www.Socialsecurity.gov for details.

If you can't stand for long periods, social security will just say 'find a sitting job'. Heel (I assume) spurs can be fixed and anyone who stands for long periods of time get leg cramps and 'tightness'.

From your statements it sounds like you're just looking for a check. (not judging you, just saying what it sounds like). Disability requires seeing doctor treatment, seeing statements from a doctor that you are disabled and unable to do ANY type of work. Your condition must last at least a year and/or be expected to result in death (and you have to be under medical care over the period of at least a year). Heel spurs aren't going to qualify you.

Well it depends on what country you live in. But if you are not well and standing hearts you should have no trouble getting it
