Can You Win a Social Security Disability Back Pain Case Without Pills?
Do Social Security disability judges require proof that you are taking powerful prescription pain medications if you are alleging disability based on back pain?
If your pain is so frequent, intense and severe that it prevents you from working, doesn't it stand to reason that you would need narcotic pain medications just to survive?
As I discuss in this video, prescription pain medications like hydrocodone, Percocet, or oxycodone are not absolutely necessary BUT you do need a good explanation.
First, you need objective proof of a significant issue with your back. Generally speaking, this means that your claims file needs a recent MRI report that shows a herniated or badly bulging disc with spinal cord compression or nerve root impingement.
Second, your record needs to address your reasons for not pursuing pain relief with narcotic pain medications and the alternatives you have chosen. Perhaps you have a fear of addiction, a history of allergic reactions, concern about side effects or even financial limitations that prevent you from pursuing pain medication therapy.
Your claims file also should contain evidence about what you are doing to address your chronic and unrelenting pain. This may include behavior modification, yoga, water exercises or alternative medicine like chiropractic or acupuncture.
Assuming that your MRI or other objective tests show a significant spinal issue, your judge still may be skeptical about reconciling your claims of debilitating pain with your decision to forego pain medications. However more judges are aware that long term pain medication use creates its own health issues.
If you are not currently represented and you need legal advice about how to explain your decision to deal with your severe back pain without resorting to narcotics, please reach out to me at ssdanswers.com.
