Going to Social Security doctor for shoulder

Got a call from nice lady in lawyer's office. On top of mental health, I have shoulder (right) problems. There was a lot of bending and lifting heavy bins at my former job. I had treatment, pt, and Rx nsaids. Now my left shoulder is bad. I'm going to see my orthopedic PA Thursday. This is left shoulder. I'll have an X-ray, and probably referred back to pt.

I'll be telling my lawyer about this appointment. I get so nervous about all of this.

I always get so nervous with these social security assessors. They're there to keep you turned down

If it's type 2, diet, exercise & losing weight can turn it around!

Much cheaper & healthier!
