SSDI Denied
His Dr. has him on Methadone 40 MG and neurontin 100 MG, both 3x a day,and the pain is still an 8. he has been on every kind of pain medicine you can imagine nothing works.The Dr. also said surgery may not fix this and he would have to live with this the rest of his life.He has been to a S.S. Dr,at their request, and he said "You are not fixable." But S.S. says he can return to work as a delivery driver, due to just pain in his neck.How can a person drive for one thing on these types of Meds.Does S.S.always trivialize people's pain, or do they want you to just give up??
