Hello,
I hurt my neck almost a year ago C5-C6 herniation, 4mm. I had the prestige artificial disc installed and feel better. The problem I have though is that I also had two disc below and one above that were also bulged. While I feel better it feels like it is compounding the bulged disc's. Can these bulged disc's pop out and back in? I am a Machinery Technician and have 10years TIS. I forsee a medboard in my future, this has dramatically limited my ability in my job. I am concerned though between severance and medical retirement and disability? Where should I turn to get some clarification? I saw a navy dotor in Gitmo and he said it was a muscle strain, confined to my rack for two weeks, went through the Panama Canal and finally left out of El Salvador. Thank you for you information, help and time.
Update: MEDBOARD started 1 February 2011, here we go. Think I may lawyer up if I can afford it!
