small central bulging disc at l4-l5 Posted: 10-10-04 10:02am
I injuryed my back in 89 and mostly was
able to deal with the pain that would
flare up for 3-4 days a month by using
pain meds, chropractor, etc.
Then in dec of 2000, it flared up again,
this time nothing could relieve the pain.
I've tried everything from meds to tens
unit. Had surgery may 01 and have been
worst since. The surgeon offered to
repeat the surgery idet, or have a fusion
but i'm too scared since the first surgery
made matters worse. Tried pt again, no
luck.
I have a small central bulging disc at
l4-l5, ddd, gerd and depresion. I'm on
ssd for the back problem and depression.
Also I had a long term disibity ins policy
through my employer. Here's my question
and problem....The ins co is trying there
damnest to kick me off. I've been
collecting on this policy for about 3 yrs
now. So far they've have a home visit and
sent me to a rehab place for an evualtion
(these people said I could work, but the
ins company didn't boot me off then, I
told the ins co they were crazy!), this
was about a year ago. They call about
monthly for update from me, yearly
paperwork for the doc to fill out etc. Ok
to the question, sorry. Now they are
sending me to a ortho surgeon this coming
thurs and i'm so worried he'll write up a
report saying I can work! I can't sit
longer than 10-15 min without pain and
standing is the same. The pain goes
accross my lower back into my rear end,
both sides and down my back legs. Lately
the pain is starting on the front of my
right leg too but stops at about the knee.
The pain seems to start on the right side
of my lower back. I feel best in the
morning and get worst as the day goes on.
When it's real bad, I lay down, it's still
hurts bad but seems to feel better after I
laid down for at least an hour. I'm still
on pain meds.
I have my family doctor helping me but
she's no specialist so I don't know how
much weight she'll carry in helping me.
I'm having a heck of a time finding the
type of lawyer to handle ltd ins claims.
Anyone have any suggestions for my
upcoming appt.?
Anyone been booted off long term
disibility? Fought and ins co?
Info please help!!

Hi there I think I can help with your
problem. I urge you to visit www.Mattfurey.Com.
This site contains the exercise system
"combat conditioning". One of the many
exercises taught in this system is called
"bridging". This movement involves
supporting the entire bodyweight on only
your forehead and feet. You of course
work up to this ability. But believe me
when I say the information in the book
will rid you or your back pain for good.
Please I beg you to go to the site. The
system has helped thousands worldwide cure
back pain, including myself. Please act
upon this post.

I apologize for being so slow in
replying.
You asked what happend in my case.
Well, my private disability insurance
company must have come to believe my
situation because we reached a settlement
agreement. Remember, that my policy
covered me if I could not perform my
current occupation. In other words, they
could not say that I could perform some
other type of job. There are not many
poicies of that kind around any more.
Ssa - now that's another story. I
applied for disabilty and was denied. I
will appeal.
Good luck
