Just state that this is when pain levels get bad so they don't think you drive on meds. This is a point also that driving to work etc. I hope the best and let us know how it goes.

Guest guest Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 Got it. Thanks. After flunking the test for the ablation, I know I have done everything possible to do my part to go back to work. It simply is not possible.

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 I've already got my SSDI. The two hour break thing and whether you have to nap is exremely important because the guy that's there from vocational rehabilitation cannot find you a job. If you can sit for two hours then you can work. Shell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 That's what my doctor said, but is not proving to be reality. I am having difficulty sitting after 20 minutes. And now my SI joint is really cutting up. Ellen >Shell wrote: >I've already got my SSDI.
