Hi don,
Think long and hard about your back, you know they are going to want to do surgery. I haven't heard a lot of people saying they've had good results from back surgery, as a matter of fact I've heard a lot of them got worse. I'm sure there is a discussion about it somewhere on this site. I'm sure someone can point you to the right thread.
SSI and SSDI are so overwhelmed with cases, and a lot of information is being overlooked. I actually found pages from another case in one of my clients files. It took me months to strengthen it out. They acted like it wasn't a big deal, but it could have made the difference of being denied or approved.
