Scoliosis Support Group
Scoliosis affects all ages. Unlike the naturally occurring curves in the spine, scoliosis causes the spine to curve abnormally to the left or right.
Hi, I was wondering if anyone had been successful in getting on Social Security disability primarily due to their scoliosis? Thanks!

Hi. I have just recently applied for Disability Social Security Benefits for my Scoliosis and Spondylolthesis. I only just this month applied and won't know for about 3-5 months. I also applied for County Assistance which would be Medicade Insurance benefits. They told me it takes about 30 days to find out about that...I'm close to the 30 days.

I am still waiting to hear from them. Joshua has scoliosis as well as Spina Bifida and they have denided him twice. I had to get a lawyer to help. She said we had a good case and she is going to tell them that he should have never have been denided. If you want to know more send me a message.

I am applying too soon as this weekend - I have already been denied once, so if denied this time I am getting a lawyer. I think they will deny it until you fight it , hoping you will give up and find another alternative before they have to pay your any money.

I have my maxed amount of epidural shots of my cervical DDD....(and no one cares about my lumbar DDD)..... I've done physical therapy, muscle relaxers, Amitriptyline, Nortryptiline, desipramine.....narcotics... So I decided to go to a spine specialist and they have me on Gabapentin. Its been two weeks and it did nothing for my lumbar ever... but it did seem to help my cervical and arm/hand pain...
