It said I could walk 8 hrs a day, sit 8 hrs a day, stand 8 hrs a day, crawl, crouch, climb,bend, twist normall. I could lift and carry between 21-50 pounds frepquently.
In my past doctors visits to my doctors, the restrictions were, limited lifting 5-10 lbs, limited carrying 5-10 lbs. no crawling, crouching, climbing, bending. Alternate walking, sitting, standing every 15 - 20 minutes. Plus, frequent breaks needed.
My question is does anyone know how much weight the ce doctor for social security has. My pcp's have seen me probably I would guess a total of over 500 hours in 8 years, and this doc has seen my maybe 5 minutes.
Thanks for any help.

russ,i have been collecting ssdi benefits for the better part of almost 16 years now so i know how things work a little as far as this goes...you can go to 20 doctors and have 19 of them tell social security that you are disabled and cannot work.but if the 1 doctor says that you are not that severly disbaled and can work social security will forget about what the other 19 doctors said and they will go with the 1 doctor who said your not disabled.it's a sad fact but it's true.
