Back Pain
Chronic back pain, whether caused by an injury or general wear and tear, can make it physically impossible for you to perform the duties of any job. Pain can also cause mental distraction. Sometimes medications help with the pain, but some medications have side effects that can make working difficult and even dangerous.
There is no way of quantifying back (or other types of) pain, and pain levels can vary widely even in a single day. It can be difficult to prove how your back pain limits you, even if you’ve had X-rays or CT scans or MRIs, and even if you’ve undergone one or more surgeries. In addition to such “objective” evidence, the Social Security Administration looks for evidence of how your pain affects your daily activities (are you limited in how you perform even household chores? have you had to give up hobbies?); what you’ve done to try to improve the problem (physical therapy, chiropractic treatment, heat or cold, etc.); whether you comply with your doctor’s recommendations; and other factors.
