arm injury

When you have experienced and are continuing to experience chronic arm pain, life and continuing with work can be increasingly difficult. This arm pain can be the result of many different problems. Some of these causes include injuries, infection or other conditions that involve the wrist, shoulder, joint, muscle, tendon, ligament, nerves or blood vessels. This pain can be brief, continuous or recurring and may feel as though there is an ache, tingle or painful pressure.

Chronic arm pain can be a debilitating condition that keeps you out of work for long periods of time. If you or a loved one suffers from this condition and it is affecting your life so severely that your doctor tells you that you should not return to work, contact an experienced RI Social Security Disability attorney right away. An experienced Social Security attorney in Rhode Island can help you to make important life decisions and can ease the stress of the application process to the Social Security Administration. Nearly 75 percent of all first time applicants for Social Security Disability are denied benefits. This denial is generally not because the disability is not worthy of benefits, but rather because the paperwork was not what the Social Security Administration was looking for.

When looking to approve or deny a claim for Disability benefits, the Social Security Administration relies heavily on the medical record provided to them as well as the opinion of the treating physician. It is important to have an attorney look these papers over in order to be sure that they accurately reflect the pain that you are experiencing. An experienced Social Security Disability attorney can ensure that you put the best claim forward for benefits that you have and can also reduce the stress of compiling and reading all of the information yourself. Dealing with chronic arm pain can be stressful and a competent and experienced RI Social Security Disability attorney can ease the stress and pain of fighting for your right to Social Security Disability compensation. An experienced RI Social Security Disability attorney can also ensure that the Social Security Administration is aware of the extent of your disability and your inability to work.
