Arthritis is slowing me down

Post by Local Mary »

I am in a critical condition. I am a 41 year old female with a job, but no medical insurance. I recently reached a point that arthritis has taken over my right hip-ball and joint according to x-rays. I've been referred to a specialist for consideration of a hip replacement.
I can't come up with anyway of getting in to see doctor due to the lack of medical insurance. The arthritis get so severe that I can't walk therefore I can't work. I need my job and I need to be able to work. My job is my only source in living. Please help me find a way/help so I might be able to get my hip fixed, please. I would appreciate any and guidance you might could provide me with.

I am taking care of my soon to be mother and law who is started her disability because of Severe Arthritis. Myself and she just moved into a 2 bedroom together and two days after we moved in I lost my job. She recently started last Monday back to work for 20 hours a week and I just got a job with her working her 40 hours but don't start till Tuesday!!!!
Well in the meantime we are four days behind on our first month’s rent due to the temporary unemployment we both faced. We also have medical bills and need medications for that arthritis. So I am trying to find some assistance paying this month’s rent before we get evicted. Thank you so much for your time and would be grateful to hear back from you. Thank you and have a great day.

I am 57 years old and unable to work due to advanced, crippling Psoriatic arthritis in most of my joints. My disability check is $1459 Before Medicare costs are deducted. I have a 1997 Ford F-250 pick-up I use to get to doctor appointments and basic errands. In addition, I recently have had to drive for my 75 year old mother who has severe spinal arthritis and it is slowing her down too. To have a functioning vehicle, I would need an exhaust manifold repair. It requires mostly labor, not parts. It’s not an easy repair. I can pay for some of the cost. I’m seeking any help with the repair cost or a referral to someone who can help.

Is the Medicare combined with other forms of disability to give the care you need? As far as the car repair help, it is rare. Especially if you only get $1459 from disability and if you can't work. But look into the programs and resources here. https://www.needhelppayingbills.com/htm ... efits.html

My name Virginia, I am 61 year old. I had an accident September 1, 2014 that gave me arthritis. I have a broken hip, leg, and few other major problem.
Off from work for almost two years, I returned soon then went back March 2016.
I  have been in so much pain since then with my hip and arthritis. So the doctor took me off March 1, 2017.  Got to have a hip replacement, I really can use your help to make this happen.
I need to pay $900.00 down then insurance will pay the rest. The only income I  have coming  in for now is STD from my job. It is not enough to live off.  SO PLEASE IN THE NAME OF JESUS WILL YOU HELP ME!!!!!!!!!! My church have done all they can do.
