Elizabethtown Degenerative Disc Disease Lawyer
An injury to the back or a disc disorder can cause more than just back pain. When the back or spine are affected, pain and other symptoms radiate outward to other parts of the body as well. That is just one reason that people with back and spinal injuries suffer debilitating symptoms.
If back pain is preventing you from working, you may be eligible for Social Security Disability/Supplemental Security Income (SSD/SSI) benefits. I can help you make a strong case for benefits, whether you are filing your initial application or have already received a denial. Simply call me at 502-442-7306 or contact me online for a free consultation to discuss your claim.
Back, Disc and Spinal Cord Injuries
Back pain is often caused by injury from an accident or a fall. It is a common result of car accidents, slip-and-fall accidents, workplace accidents and construction accidents. Failed back surgery is another common cause of debilitating back pain.
Injuries to the spinal cord or discs such as herniated discs, ruptured discs, compressed discs and tears to the spinal cord are extremely painful. In addition, degenerative disc disease, which causes the discs to rub against each other, can be excruciating. People with these types of injuries sometimes need long-term pain management, which may alleviate the pain but render them unable to do daily tasks or to work. In severe spinal cord injuries, paralysis, paraplegia or quadriplegia may be the result.
The effects of these injuries are not limited to the back and spine. People may also experience pain, numbness or tingling in the arms and legs. Pain and numbness may result in reduced range of motion and weakened muscles. Extreme back pain may make it impossible to sit or stand for more than a few minutes.
