So I went and had my physical with the S.S doc and I was in with him in his office for maybe 10 minutes. He tried to stretch my legs out didnt really look at the parts of my body that are all messed up I was wondering if anyone has gone for these appointment and how long did they last and if you got excepted the first time or you had to get a lawyer and go a second time?
any info would be great Thank you
There is no rhyme or reason to their SS Dr's. First one I was sent to was internal medicine, then they had more info needed and sent me to a GP type Dr.
This was my 3rd time applying for SS. The first times where when I was a teenager w/a job. and the 2nd time was a couple of years after having my daughter, which is when I started going down hill and the 3rd and last time was after I had my son, which was the worse I had ever been in my life.
I probably would have gotten SS back when I first applied if I had appealed it, but I just did not want to fool with it, same as the 2nd time, I just did not want to fool with getting a lawyer and going thru all of it for something I really did not need at the time.
Good Luck! Keep us posted.
I had my physical exam with the SS doctor alittle over a year ago. She went over my records a little with me and the test results that she had in my records and of course what medication I was taking. She did have me take my shoes and socks off, she examined my joints but not as thoroughly as my RD does. She also checked my range of motion in my shoulders, hips, neck, ankles, and had me try to make a fist and also I think she had me grip her hand. It took about 10 or 15 minutes. She told me that I would get my results from SS in about two weeks. I was approved about a week and a half later.
I hope evrything goes well for you!!! I remember it was very nerve racking!!!!!
Good Luck,
Marie
Not everyone gets sent to see an SS doctor. I never did. I did get denied twice, got a lawyer and got approved for SSD at an administrative hearing. It took me from Sept. 2003 until April 2006.i was sent to an orthopedist! Yes, he did spend some time looking at joints. I was approved on first go-around. |
