Any Help would be appreciated

Hello,

I am new to this and hope that I can find help.  I went through surgery on 10/19/07 to remove 2 fatty tumors in my groin.  I returned home and over the next few weeks developed severe pain in my groin and lower abdomen to the point I could not wear any clothing or have anything touching the area of the surgery.  I went back to the Dr. and had test after test and nothing could be found that would be causing the pain.  I started developing severe pain in my hands as well as lack of dexterity and ability to grasp objects.  I started having problems walking and standing and have recently been given a disabled status on my drivers license.  I went to a rheumatologist who found out that I have severe Fibromyalgia the criteria for diagnosis is 18 major trigger points she stopped counting at 25.  She also found that I had something called hyperesthesia a condition which the body recognizes any type of touch as pain.  They have also found that my pancreas is producing too much insulin and are debating whether to take it out.  I see a pain doctor who wants to install a spinal pump/stimulator to help with the pain.  I see a pain psychologist to help me deal with the depression this has all brought about.  I am now confined to my house I cant drive because of the pain meds not to mention the pain from grasping the steering wheel and pressing the pedals.  My wife does not understand this and wants a separation and this is where I need help.  My Job fired me because I could not return to work. I cannot work or make income and still waiting to see if I qualify for disability which can take another year.  I need help moving back to Virginia from Florida as well as the cost of housing in a handicap accessible apartment.  If anyone knows where I can go for this or is able to help please let me know.

Thank you and God Bless,

Tim

I'd written a detailed comment but this stupid thing erased it. Contact binder&binder. You need a lawyer to help you with disability. I'm still waiting on mine from 2005. I've contacted the lawyers now. Folks that I've talked to say it takes a lawyer to get it.

 

I know its hard but let anyone who can't understand and support you, go. Even if you have to live with them for a while longer, let them go mentally.

 

Best wishes to you.
