Oakland Social Security Lawyers Look at Osteoarthritis

At David Allen & Associates, our Oakland Social Security disability lawyers frequently work with clients afflicted with disabling osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease that results from overuse of your joints, according to our Oakland Social Security Disability attorneys. It is most common in the elbows, hands, hips, knees, feet, and spine. As these joints are heavily used over time, Social Security lawyers explain, the cartilage that separates the bones in joints breaks down. This can cause severe joint pain, inflammation, and potentially long-term damage that qualifies you for compensation from Social Security. Our Oakland Social Security Disability attorneys add that, if you engage in repetitive tasks at your job, are involved in athletics, or are overweight, you may be at increased risk for osteoarthritis. Social Security attorneys say there are several symptoms that are all indicative of osteoarthritis. Difficulty gripping coffee mugs, tools, and other everyday objects, Oakland Social Security Disability lawyers say are among the symptoms. In addition, difficulty sitting down or bending over, swollen, warm or aching joints are also indicators, according to our Oakland Social Security Disability attorneys. There are also other symptoms, including having rheumatoid arthritis, that a physician can document and prescribe appropriate treatment for that will support your claim for Social Security disability payments.

Attorneys point out that while osteoarthritis results from overuse, rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease. It is most common in women, our Oakland Social Security Disability attorneys explain. Many of the symptoms are similar to those described above for osteoarthritis and also lead to a serious disability qualifying for Social Security. But lawyers point out that with rheumatoid arthritis, joint pain may gradually spread from one area into other parts of your body. Social security disability lawyers say that you may also face additional symptoms including fatigue, fever, and loss of appetite. Rheumatoid arthritis, our Oakland Social Security Disability attorneys know, can be debilitating and lead to a need for help from Social Security. Disability lawyers say that if you are experiencing symptoms you should speak with your doctor. In addition, our Social Security disability attorneys can recommend experienced medical professionals who will take great care of you, and document your results in preparation for a Social Security disability case. Lawyers at David Allen & Associates use this medical documentation to help you appeal LTD claims in Oakland .
