    Have you ever been to a good chiropractor, it takes time for them to even get the body in some sort of better shape using adjustments. It has taken you 44 years for the bones to dislodge and get out of alignment, the muscles then get use to it and shorten up on one side and instead of the spine being level it is crooked or whatever. It might not cure all of your problems but could help some. Regular Md's are good about handing out pain pills instead of trying to find out what the problem is and they don't know how to correct it unless it is through surgery or physical therapy of some sort.

    Hearings take forever to be scheduled. I have the same problems after driving for 20+ yrs. I filed in December 2011. I just within the last week received a hearing date. It is scheduled for June 2013.

    When I hired the SSI lawyer, he showed me a schedule that stated 2-3 months from the request and said it can sometimes be less. I'm not really holding out much hope for approval. There are just way to many ails and ills that can get a person approved and it would seem serious pain isn't really one of them. My son is on it for ADHD and Aspergers.

    So does anyone know anything about being a wide load escort then? Seems more doable maybe?

    I would think you attempting to work and it didn't work out could be used in your favor?? They look at people differently depending on your age group. 45-50 is so so. Once you hit 50 you stand a much better chance and when you turn 55 you are a shoe in.


    We have some good threads on that somewhere.

    Do a search on Escort or maybe Pilot Car.

    Escort might bring up lot lizards, lol.

    Wide load escort involves a lot of sitting and not being able to stop every 1/2 hour or so , they have limited time ( daylight hours ) to try and get their max daily mileage.

    And you posted that "normally cannot stand or sit any longer than 20-30 minutes without taking some sort of break"
