Thanks Echoes.

I see the psychologist for counseling of the problems my pain has caused me from my injury.
He treats my PTSD, depression, anxiety, panic disorder all effects caused by my injury. Sure hes not treating my spine, but he is treating what the injury to my spine has caused. I dont get hurt, i dont have those problems. They have gotten worse as the years go by. The PTSD still gives me nightmares of the day i got hurt.


Iam so confused as to what to do, when this should be so simple. I wish that i was back at work fighting fires, instead of disabled doing this paperwork crap.
One of my last doctor visits was to cardiologist for stress echo test, but i dont dare put that down because its a different problem. SS knows my neck and back problems arent suddenly gonna heal themselves after 13 years. You would think putting down other doctor visits like seeing your primary doctor on a regular basis for checkups, would show you are trying to take care of your health. I guess am looking at the form how i would review it if i was SS. Like with your condition, i wouldnt penalize you if on one of your last doctor visits, it wasnt for your approved condition.
They should put down in the instructions, that they want a persons last 3 visits only to doctors that treat you for your approved condition.

Thanks
Bobby
