Is a implant of a spinal cord stimulator rated at all Im suppose to get one in the next few weeks probes in my L Spine and T Spine. Just wondering if it will hurt my rating or what it may due I just hope it helps the pain if that works I guess I really wont care what the rating would be.

I see your point, however my bigest concern was T-Spine weather it could be added with my package or if AFPC will request more evidence about it since it's only mentioned by me in my MFR that I wrote for the C&P exam narrative. Also the spinal cord stimulator is going to be temp implanted for...

So question is I was boarded for neck pain (fusion C5-C6) low back pain (fusion L4-L5) rt shoulder pain (winging of scapula) lt knee (ACL/medial menicus/micro fracture)... However sine my package has went to AFPC my back issues have gotten worse I have had 2 episodes of incapacitated MRI show...

You can list your conditions for which the board was started once you meet with the VA rep then you list all medical conditions you want. Once you goto your C&P exam then the doc their confirms diagnoses from previous doctors. Hope this helps .

The issues were already addressed in my MFR won't that be a start. Also I would hope my bulging disc in my T Spine would be considered unfit at the same time all of my conditions not addressed in the C&P were brought to attention in my MFR just had a previous entries I stated about my...

Ok so question is if the DOD ratings come back good. However they don't rate me on a few conditions that I have been diagnosed then how do I appeal just that portion of the VA findings. Like if they don't rate me for my arthritis and T Spine. How do I get that added to my complete package.

Yea I was going to inform my PEBLO I just don't know about trying to add it now. Although when I had my C&P I wrote a MFR stating my T Spine wasn't mentioned and did state T7-T8 was bulged but after the new MRI shows 4 total levels bulged not just one. So if they look at my package they will see...

So my MEB was started back in June and C&P completed in Jan unfit conditions are back,neck,shoulder and knee MR showed bulging disc st C5-C6 and L4-L5 with fusion and L5-S1 and C4-C5 bulged another MRI was accomplished 2 days ago show 4 bulged disc in T-Spine T3-T4 with contact with spinal cord...

First thing is I thought that anything outside the blood stream can't die like your meniscus. My ACL was from a done but as for your second MEB as long as you don't have issues doing your job or passing PT test then they should return you back to duty. We have hundreds of people still serving...

Ok this falls close to home since Im AFTER also has your PCM ever tried to do a MEB with all the history of your ankle an MEBB should have done a year into the same profile is your condition preventing yocompleting your job if so tell your PCM and have them start an MEB .u from

I can assure everyone my conditions didn't occur while me only serving 3 years add 11 more years I joined in 99 and first surgery didn't occur till 2008. However I do agree with a very small amount of service members trying to get a check for the rest of there life at the same time people with...

I think Sentry had a good point about getting another doctor over than the VA doctor that way if they don't match then you have something to use towards your appeal. I'm going to get my Ortho and Neruo doctors to do my ROM I think that is the best thing I can do to support my package. Only...

I think that's an excellent idea. Only issues is my PCM said he don't know how to work on bionic people his words exactly. We don't see eye to eye I probably should get my Ortho doctor to do the measurements. Maybe that would be my best avenue to get new ROM when my package goes up and they...

I did the Impartial Review which of course came back in favor of the Dr don't see how a Dr in th same clinic is unbiase what a joke but also rebuttaled it we will see what's next

Welcome aboard folks are helpful here. I wouldn't know where to start with your condition. However I know with tinnitus if diagnosed its a flatrate 10%. that's as good as i can help until my MEB ratings come back.

Yea I will do that I'm gonna ask for the MRI report from the doctor office and get it sent as well I just don't know if they still continue to give grief

Okay, my MEB is awaiting my signature to be sent to AFPC for ratings. However yesterday my back went out having very sever pain got stat appointment to see Ortho Dr he scheduled MRI for lumber and T-Spine and requested I not work until after follow up appointment. So I turned in Con-leave...

So how do I complaine about my ROM examiner my measurements for my lumbar were almost normal Flex 0-60 Ext 0-15 and the rest I believe is like 0-25 that's like normal how is this when I barely can bend over. I have to squat to get things off floor. I believe he didn't measure me correctly. Still...

So my case is progressing I have to sign MEB package on Thursday and it will be sent up to AFPC I guess 4 to 6 months I will find out my outcome I don't know how some people can get con leave for so long I wish my PCM cared enough to put me back on Con Leave taking percocet at work and driving...

Yea I see your point I requested an Impartial review and my MFR is going up to AFPC with my package that way they can se my process from day one. My MFR is four pages long and describes in full details if the severity of each condition. Thanks for the advice will let y'all know once i have...
