has anyone every got disability for

December 1, 2003

I have had back pain for as long as I can remember. Ever sence I had

got pregnant with my last baby I have had a lot of pain in my back,

mostly on the lower part, but it goes up my back and under my left

shoulder blade and then around the back of my neck. I hurt no matter

what I do or don't do. Although I feel salf and better here at home,

I am a singal mother of 4. The whole time I was pregnant my doctor

kept on telling me it was normal I was pregnant, but we know when

there is something wrong. I was turned down for help from the state

because they say I get more in child suport then the state allows for

a family of 5,It my morg. and land rent is more then that. I haven't

been able to work,hell it is hard for me to do things around the

house and to take care of my 5 month old puts me in tears at

times.When I go to the ER, they tell me to go to my doctor, well I

don't have one I have no money, no job, no ins. what doctor will see

me. I finlly went to one who set an MRI up for me and he said that I

have a L5 S1 buldging disk and set me up for a shot in my back in a

month. God I pray that it helps, because it is so hard to have a life

when you are in so much pain, I have been on all kinds of med. for

over a year now, and none of them seem to do anything to me, the pain

is always there 24/7. Now I am getting farther and farther behind in

my bills I can't seem to do anything but watch them take everything

that I've worked so hard for. I did drywall for almost 20 years and

that was all I ever really did, Don't know what else I can do whenI

get better but I will do what ever my body will let me.Sorry that I

went on and on, my real question is has anyone ever got disability

for this.I've tryed going back to work to do light work, I've tryed

babysetting, but it just hurts so much it isn't worth the pain. But I

just don't want to loss everything. My children have had two

birthdays each and this will be the second christmas that mom can't

get them anything we are just happy if we don't lose our home, but as

a parent and being all they have it hurts me so much. I feel like I

am leting my children down. If anyone can let me know what they

think, it would make me happy. thanks for your time good luck to all

of you wish you all well. Vicki
