February 12, 2012

In Attorney Scott Lewis' experience as a Social Security disability lawyer, he handles numerous claims involving back pain.  Many of his Indiana neighbors suffering from severe back pain struggle to maintain even a minimal quality of life.  If you or someone you know is suffering from severe back pain creating an inability to work it may be time to file a Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and/or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) claim.

There are many types of back disorders and those individuals experiencing Spinal Stenosis may soon find that this particular disorder can be very painful and disabling.  Spinal Stenosis relates to narrowing of the spinal column that can create pressure on the spinal cord.  Another term individuals with spinal stenosis may hear is neural foramina, which refers to narrowing of the openings. 

While the causes of Spinal Stenosis may vary many individuals suffering from Spinal Stenosis may experience:

  •  Pain
  • Numbness
  • Weakness

The Social Security Administration (SSA) recognizes Spinal Stenosis in its Listing of Impairments under Listing 1.00 Musculoskeletal System.  This listing outlines the criteria that needs to be met or equaled in order to qualify medically for Social Security disability benefits.
