Chinook said, the risks/outcomes of surgery are extremely situational, and only you and your doctor can figure that out. Once you understand the full scope of information from your doctor, do research then and you'll have a better idea of what's best for you. Whoever said this is 1) an...

How often do you bug your master chief to check? Is he familiar with your situation? If your CoC is failing you miserably on this, have you tried scheduling a time to talk with your CMC (assuming he's not the master chief your spoke of)? Make sure you get your ducks in a row, and write up a...

Normally you aren't a candidate for surgery unless your spine is curving further than 45 degrees OR is causing interference with internal organs (heart/lungs). I have a 32 degree Thoracic curve myself that i am being boarded for (along with lumbar arthritis). Do you have any other pain than...

Multiple Diagnosed Conditions (Lumbar/Thoracic/Cervical), unsure how rating will So as I understand it. I should fall under the following 2 categories: General Rating Formula for Diseases and Injuries of the Spine With or without symptoms such as pain (whether or not it radiates)...

Thank you. Chiro doesn't see much hope of reducing the curve, though she did say reducing it 3% is certainly possible. She said it's 50/50 in her opinion, though she couldn't speak from experience as she's never dealt with another case like it. Good news though that she did put in writing, in...

Thanks for the info fdmckeever, good to know. Nothing on my scoliosis was noted at time of induction, so there's a good chance it'll be rated if it comes to that.

I'm ridiculously confused. First the LCDR from the previous post states he can keep me in without me needing to PT, essentially riding out my enlistment. This sounded ridiculous, so i asked my chief and the medical chief. They both stated that medical waivers from PRT without being limdu...

Just got back from my appt with primary care. Conversation went like this: Him: 32% curve? You're out. Me: Yeah that's what i've been told Him: What rate are you? Me: CTN Him: Oh you're a CT. We'll just waive you from PT and let you ride out the rest of your enlistment (4 years). I'm not gonna...

(this was also posted in the back/spine section, I guess i'm a little freaked out by todays events and i'm trying to get as much info as possible) After a year of crippling back pain, SOMEONE (a really sweet chiropractor at Schofield Barracks) finally decided "Hey lets see if there's a curve!"...
