Do I qualify for disability?

About ten years ago I had a fall from a roof onto a driveway that left me with fractures in my talus, wrist and a compression fracture of L5 vertebra. Without going into detail it the ankle injury was pretty gruesome. There were other things that didn't affect me so much then as it does now and my therapist has diagnosed me as PTSD and depression. My spine has been gradually getting more pain especially at night when I try to sleep well my pattern of sleep is messed up. Additionally my job as a CNA requires heavy lifting that has become so difficult I had to reduce my hours down to nearly nothing.
I've looked into this and I understand that my age (58) is a positive and that my line of work is considered at least medium duty if not heavy duty and skills are not transferable to other jobs. So what do you think my chances are of being approved?

Hi Donald,
It's hard to know for sure! You can always contact an advocate or attorney if you'd like a free evaluation.
I fell 9/15 from a loft, shattered right wrist, had a plate and pins put in to repair my wrist, compression fractures in L1, T8 and had an old compression fracture in T6, and fractured my sacrum, also they had to replace both of my knees. They tried kyphoplasty on L1 and T8, didn't help with the pain. The pain in my back is constant, no relief at all. Does this qualify me for disibility?
