I've been on ssdi a couple of times. The first time I was on it for gilles Tourette syndrome, depression and anxiety.

After being on ssdi for some time I decided to try a trial work period and was able to stay at work for almost 4 years before my issues got to the point to where I could no longer function so I went back to he ssdi. A month later my benefits started back and I have been on them ever since.

As far as the ssa is concerned I'm my disability is Tourette syndrome, depression and anxiety. But since then I fell and broke my back in three places and had to have surgery. They put rods/screws/fushion at s1/l5 and now I'm in pain management for that.

My question is should I leave well enough alone and not tell the ssa of my back issues or should I let them know that I now have even more stuff wrong with me and have the back issues added to my ssa file?

My meds for my original issues are Prozac for depression (30mg day) and clonazepam for anxiety (4mg day).

The meds I take from my pain management doctor is oxycodone for pain (30mg a day), flexeril for muscle spasms (20mg day), ambien for sleep (10mg day).


I do not know what to do as I have heard all sorts of crazy stories about the ssa when people change anything with them.

I'm just wondering if by adding the back issues to my file if it will give more security/stability with my ssdi or if it will start something and I will end up regretting even bringing it up.

I'm very confused as what to do.

What do you people think? What would you do in my situation?

Thanks!
