RFA before C&p?

I have severe degenerative spondylosis in the lumbar and thoracic regions with radiculopathy and have been recommended for MEB

Active over 20 but with three left on contract.

I have an appointment coming up for nerve ablation (RFA), should I wait until after C&P to get the RFA based on impacting the outcome of the exam?

Nice! So you will max out compensation and if found unfit you don't have to finish the 3 year obligation:) I would just work on medical and make sure your ratings are correct so that you are good on the VA side after you get out.

Really up to your discretion if you 1. want the procedure at all and 2. when you want it. Although if I was referred to a board based on the condition of my back and the examination for those purposes was being done on me, I would want them to see how bad it has been for me and how bad it can be. "Have your worst day" and all. I opted out of all modalities once I saw misdiagnoses being corrected by other providers with all parties being interested in injections and the like. I decided to forego possible malpractice that I wouldn't be able to hold doctors accountable for in favor of treatment post service.
