Question
Cobra4v
Hello all
I have S/C Patello Femoral Syndrome for both my knees rated at 10% each. I have been complaining for some time now about my knee pain. Recently they did an MRI on my left knee and discovered damaged cartilage, a tear in my patello, and arthritis causing a decay in my knee cap. Additionally they discovered excessive motion in my knee cap and knee joint from side to side. It is documented my knees give out causing me to fall.
My question is:
Since I now have neurology telling me I have Degenerate Osteoarthritis in my left knee. Will they rate it as Degenerate Osteoarthritis and range of motion separately in my upcoming c&p exam? For example, 10% arthritis 10% range of motion limitation etc. Or will they just label it as Degenerate Osteoarthritis giving me one rating?

In all probability they will just give you one rating. Look at it this way. If you had arthritis and no symptoms, such as loss of range of motion and no pain, then there would be no disability, or you

I have 10% for my left knee Patella damage injury from active duty. It took 20 years to get by denials. I won on appeals later helped contribute a disc in my back to break.
