I am new to the group

i have used bio freeze, yes to a degree it helps but then like most things it stops working after awhile/ once my huband gets disability i hope and pray the shots i was getting back jan 2011 might help me again. sadly with no ins, no income, i cant afford a doc right now but soon. i will be losing internet this week so will not be on as much, will have to go to library to ck in from time to time. hope you feel better too my dear friend. thank you for the chat, God bless.

Hope you get your disability quick. We will miss you until you are back full time.

hubby got a very very very good report from his attorney monday concerning his disability. we believe 100% he will be approved according to what was told to us:) i can not express how that lil bit of news meant to us. its not wriitten in stone yet the judge has to make his ruling but we have the proof 100% from his doc he is not able to ever work again on any job what so ever and thats what the judge wants to hear and we got the proof in the judges hands on monday. i will ck in when i can , still have internet for the moment but they going to poof me lol soon so will chat til they do :)

Still hoping that it all works out for you.

bio-freeze helps alot,,i feel your pain nana,, i too have low back pain and both knees are messed up plus both of my feet ,,i have to wear a brace on the left and im 54,, things can't get any worse, take care

Do you take any medications? Is there a way that your doctor will work with you so you can have some relief? Have you had an MRI on your back? I know that you did on your knees, but what about the back? If so, what did it show? I figure that you have applied for disability as well and that both of you are trying to get Medicaid as well. I wish I could be of more help.

Sadly, no nothing we can do at the moment. Just waiting on Feb 24th for disability hearing for my hubby. Pray please!

I am definately praying for you. I've been dealing with my back problems for 12 years (2 back surgeries and 6 more herniated discs after being rear-ended in a 4 car wreck.) I haven't been able to get my disability yet (still waiting for a court date). My husband also has a bad back and had to go from hospital nursing to home health ($12.00/hr cut in pay). We live from paycheck to paycheck and it is horrible-I don't know how you do it. I've been so depressed at times that I tried suicide once and have been hospitalized for depression 3 times (twice last year). Luckily they finally found meds that work for my depression, but they are SO expensive. We are lucky enough to have insurance thru my husband's work, but it's $800.00/mo. Thank God that your court date is coming so soon. That's only 24 days away, and then very soon after you'll get your back check. Just hang in a little while longer.

Did I understand that right?? Even after insurance you are paying $800.00 a month for your meds?

Hi Lori,
yes in 23 days we will have an answer to the disability case. I am praying the judge will rule sooner and we can get this behind us. If for some reason he denies us I do not know what we will do. Our attorney said last week she feels very positive about the case and she feels like all is okay. I said to her, you know pretty much already if we will be approved or not and she said yes but you know how things can change so we are praying the judge will approve this and soon. I am down real b ad with my back again, I can hardly walk. I have my good days and bad days and lately its been more bad than good. I don't have internet nor house phone anymore so am at my sons today visiting our grandson and using their internet. Logan our little grandson has his papa in his room so I got a little time to do computer before Logan comes looking for me to snuggle with him. The weather has been so nice that we have been sitting on our porch just about everyday. Yesterday I started painting a little country bench that I had and was going to finish it today but wont be home until late tonight so will repaint it tomorrow. Last weekend I had to transplant several very badly root bound plants and as I was replanting the flowers I could not believe its late January and I am transplanting flowers. We have had no winter so come spring the gnats will be awful.
I stayed up late last night making pillowcases. When I am not cross stitching I am sitting at my sewing machine. I can't do much so I do what I can. Please keep us in your prayers for that call. Will post as often as I can get to the library. Take care, God bless, will ttyl

Hope everything goes well for you and that you get your disability. We are so glad to have you around the site.
