I AM IN DESPERATE NEED OF A MEDICAL MAKEOVER. I have been fighting for social security disability for over 4 years. Now my Doctor of 11 years has retired and now I have to start the whole process over. I am 50 years old but feel like 70 most of the time. I was always the employee who did more, carried more, pushed harder to try and make my mark in what ever job I had. Now My Back is trashed, my legs and neck kill me every night. My matress keeps me awake every night. I have no medical insurance,have tried to get state help but can't prove my disability. Need a new MRI,EEG,X-RAys, all my tests are from 2005 when I did have insurance and they don't think I am in enough pain to warrant disability. How does one decide your not enough pain and that you should be able to work. I can not sit stand or walk for any length of time. Who would hire me. Every night I wake up every two hours like clock work. It doesn't matter if I take sleeping pills or not, two hours and I am awaken to painful numbness. I get up go to the bathroom and walk around the bedroom till the feeling comes back. I also have restless leg and a prolapsed bladder. How dangerous is it to walk around with a prolapsed bladder. Being without insurance is frightening. To add to everything I am starting to loose my teeth from the pain medications. Help Please
