Question
SFCMoore
I retired in 2002 and part of my disability was a back injury. I have experienced severe pain and discomfort in the back and neck. I had a Bone Density Scan done and it showed a -3.9 in the spine and -2.3 in the neck. Severe osteoporosis is a score of -2.5 or lower. It was noted that I am a high risk for back fractures. Can the osteoporosis be a result of a back injury and can I claim it as secondary to the back injury?
Thanks.....
