I am so exhausted of dealing with this, it is getting to be too much.

Yes, I tried legal aid, and they always had excuses not to help me. In PA they get a percentage (25) of your back pay, well since I only qualify for SSI, not SSD and my husband was getting SSD, they base what I would receive, if approved, on our other income, so I wouldn't be getting much, a little over $100 a month, which means legal aid wouldn't get much out of their cut of my back pay, so they basically just don't think it is worth their time to help.

What a pity! I can image that what horrible pains you suffered. Have you heard "Yoga", it must be useful for you to alleviate your pains, I think, so I suggest that you can do some sports, it's benifit you!
Some of my friends had had such terrible experience as you, but through Yoga, they got better now.

I can't do the movements and stretching necessary for Yoga, my hip locks up all the time, so the doc said NO!

It just gets so frustrating sometimes and depresses me, I mean, it was not in my plans when I was younger to be disabled before I even turned 35. I still struggle with having to use a cane most days when I leave the house.

You're always in our prayers. I left the house today "with" my cane, and came back without it and don't know where it is! AAAAAHHHH! Hopefully it'll turn up......somewhere...

LOL! Oh my, that's not good. I have forgotten mine at home or in our van before, but so far I have never left it anywhere else.

I found it!!!!!! It was really starting to scare me, as I had NO idea where it was.
Have you ever tried natural pain remedies for your pain? It really helps my hip, and Lord knows there's not much left of it.
I know you can't do the exercises - neither can I with most things; just makes it worse, wearing out whats already worn out. Swimming is good, that I can do, till I come out of the water and feel like I've gained about 50 lbs., you always feel so much lighter in the water!
