disability question??
 

Hey, everyone, I'm new here and have a question about my disability. Question; I am going to have a pain pump implanted in my lower back for lower back and leg pain, will this effect my disability? I don't want to lose my benefits, and worry that SSI may say that I am no longer in severe pain and stop my payments. Any help would be greatly appreciated. (:-)

I copied your post over to the Social Security Disability forum so you'll get more replies. Here's the forum it's also in:

P.S. Welcome to the site! :)

Hello Mr K!
 

Welcome to NT!
This is a great place to be for support and understanding, plus lots of great info.
Your post caught my eye because I too am looking into SSDI and I have a spinal cord stimulator. The disability forum is packed with very helpful info.

Also, we have a forum here specific to SCS/Pain Pump discussion. It would be wonderful if you'd visit over there and share a bit on the pain pump. There have been others recently inquiring about the pain pump and maybe you'd have some good input. The forum is listed as a sub-forum in the 'Medications & Treatments' section. Here's the shortcut link to get you there:

No pressure of course! I'll be following along your thread in the Disability forum because you've hit on a subject that's right up my alley.

It's great to have you!

Caring,
Rae
