In the last 2.5 years I have had four surgeries carpal Left carpal right 3 level ACDF cervial fusion, Ulnar nerve release. Monday June 18th I will have a complete rib resection for Thoracic Outlet Syndrome. My husband and I filled bankruptcy hearing was last monday we have lost everything due to my inability to work house car etc..
I am desparate I know when I have this surgery on Monday I will not have the money to pay the co pays for my therapy. I filed 2.5 years ago and have been turned down 2 times and now I await the hearing with SS judge. I don't know what to do how much more do they think I can take. I would appreciate any advice or suggestions you can give me. I would also like to know if anyone has gotten a positive decision for TOS my diagnosis is bilateral extra ribs dead pulse left sided pain. I have severe degenerative disc disease and the disc above my fusion is now ruptured and my ortho says he will have to address this in near future.

Thanks so much I dont know how long I will be down from surgery on monday down and out no money need hope.

Have you contacted a lawyer? My neighbor used Binder and Binder and she said they were wonerful. They got her worker's comp and SSI. They do not take money up front and only get paid if they win your case. Try giving them a call.

I have TOS and won my SSD also using Binder & Binder. I was rejected twice, and won before I had to go before the ALJ. But it took nearly 4 years. Hang in there! Keep on your congressman and let them know whenever you have a shut-off notice for a utility or an eviction notice.
