Question

I have a few questions...
I have an award (10%) for SC knee pain that also says further evaluation for instability is warranted. When I filed my claim, I listed the fact that my knee gives out frequently. I was diagnosed while on active duty in 96 with a tibo-fibular subluxation of this knee. I retired from the Reserves last May and filed my claim then and received my award this June along with 10% for tinnitus and 0% for hearing loss (free hearing aids that work wonderfully BTW.
My questions are:
1-I went to my civilian orthopedic Dr and he said my ACL was torn and had been for some time (hard to tell how long). I got home today after having ACL replacement. He informed me that it WAS an old injury and the ACL was torn from the bone, not in the middle as are most. Should I file a disagreement and request compensation for the instability and ACL replacement since the records show this was diagnosed in 96?
2-I have also been treated and continue to be treated for kidney stones. I was diagnosed with them in 01 while in the Reserves and the Urologist said that based on the number and size, I had them for a quite a while. I left active duty Oct 98. Can I claim this?
Thanks!!!
