How to apply for disability with carpal tunnel and blood clots?
Community Member
2 months agoGood afternoon, Today I actually got through to Social Security. I now have an appointment to get help signing up for disability. My long-term disability through work told me I have to sign up through Social Security. I can't type with accuracy as I have severe carpal tunnel. I will need surgery but I am not sure when. It scares me to have surgery because I have a chronic blood clot in my thigh and am on Eliquis. I am sure they will come up with a plan. So this is all good news but a bit scary. I pray you all are having a great day!

2 months agoWhat a significant step forward in getting the support you deserve! Navigating disability applications can feel overwhelming, especially when managing multiple health challenges, but having that Social Security appointment scheduled is real progress. It's completely understandable to feel both hopeful and anxious about upcoming medical procedures - your medical team will work with you to create a safe plan that considers all your health conditions. The community here understands the complexity of managing multiple health issues, and many members have walked similar paths with disability applications and medical procedures.

a month agoThank you, I was wondering if you know of any programs that could help with replacing a tub with a handicapped shower?
