Your employer doesn't need to be told it's a TWP, it has nothing to do with them. That's a SS term.

You could say that you're hoping to return back to work in 30 days, and will schedule a final doc visit to be cleared to return right beforehand. They might want you to be evaluated independently for liability reasons. What if you return prematurely and are injured on the job? They'd than have the expense of a Work Comp case. (They might not bother, but it does happen.)

This was an excellent post about PN and applying for SSDI from poster echoes long ago:http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/thread210434-2.html

"for peripheral neuropathy it is important to state how your nerve damage affects your gait, balance and fine motor skills (dexterity) which in turn how that limits your ability to work. trouble walking, climbing, bending, sitting, kneeling, squating, reaching, lifting, grabbing, holding, manipulating etc depending of course on what limbs are involved and what your particular symptoms are."

TWP = Trial Work program?

Yeah, that is a good point, and it's true, But I doubt they will do that.
They really should though.

Good Idea about telling them I am hoping to return in 30 days, and getting a check up.
I doubt he will want to keep me off though.
Like I said, he seemed like a jerk.

I am not trying to be difficult, but just asking,
How would SS actually know I went to this doctor.

Your doctor's office won't have 2 files for you. There might be 2 doctors in the office, but you'll have only 1 file.

And you are paying with Medicare/Medicaid--it's not as if you went into a clinic anonymously.

Trial Work PERIOD.

You don't have to go back to that doctor.

It would make sense to see a neurologist.

When a disabled person returns to work it is common for them to be given accommodations. If a neurologist determines your PN requires you may no longer work in certain environments--such as outside in the winter, your employer might be able to come up with something else for you, or it might be determined that you can not return to your former job.

But, you're not treating the PN as if it's a serious condition. If you don't, your employer won't and SS certainly won't.

yes, paying with Medicaid
Yeah, I'm sure they could find out if they wanted to.

It is serious, Seriously hurting me,
But I don't know what else to do.
I tried going back to the dr. that helped me get on SS in the first place, but that didn't work out so well.

So even If I don't go back to this doctor, I should list him on the SS CDR?

You need to see a PN specialist, likely a neurologist.

THE CDR will ask you for your last 3 doc appointments I believe. So, it depends how many appointments you have before you receive the CDR. If you received it tomorrow you MUST list this latest doc. At this point, you probably should be notifying SS your condition has improved or if you disagree with that, than you need to make another appointment with the other doc or a new doc asap.

you want to check out the QDWI program.

It's been my experience too, that as soon as you mention SSDI, most of the doctors act like they don't want to get involved.
You can't ever get in to see that other doctor.
