I have been going to college online and putting up with the pain, but there is know why I can work right now. I am still in pain with my arm, wrist, hand, and fingers. My fingers are even crocked. I had been miss diagnosed for over a year and a half. This happened January 2010 and now it's August 2011. May I go back to the beginning to file for disability?  Thank you very much.

My Dr's records for chronic pain go back about 15 years. For the past 6m I have been filing unemployment. I just recently decided to file for disibility being that I was too ill & in too much constant pain to be able to go back to work. Do you have any advice on the next seriers of steps to take to make a judge take my case seriously. Thanks so much.
