Keeton V. Department Of Health And Human Services

Danny Keeton appeals from a district court judgment affirming the Secretary of Health and Human Services' denial of his application for disability insurance benefits and supplemental security income under Titles II and XVI of the Social Security Act. At the time of the administrative hearing, Keeton was thirty years old and had an eleventh grade education with no additional vocational training. His past relevant work experience includes jobs as a tire recapper/retreader, bottler, stockboy and sawmill worker. Keeton claims that he is disabled because he suffers pain in his lower back that radiates to his left leg, and the leg gets numb, pain in his spine and in his neck, daily muscle spasms, trembling in both of his hands, and seizures. Keeton uses a TENS unit and a brace as well as various medications to relieve pain.
