Question
..tiredmarine0331
Hi again, I've had pain in my lower back since 2009 but never went to see the doctor while I was in service and was medically retired on 2014 due to a grenade explosion that hit my brain I already have a rating of 80%. I could not take the lower back pain anymore so I went to see my main doctor at the V.A. two weeks ago she ordered an MRI for me and turns out that I have a bulged disc, she referred me to physical therapy and might get injections to lower the pain. I also have sphincter control problems (cannot control my pooping muscle sometimes) and low sex drive (which sucks because I got married a few months ago).
I am planning on making a claim for disabilities that I did not claim in the past, my question is: Should I put in the claim in a month or so, or should I wait and go to physical therapy and then make the claim for bulged disc.
I know that the V.A. might try to pull a smart move and tell me that is not service connected what could I do if this happens?
Thanks for any advice,
Tired Marine 0331

If you submit a claim for your Back it has to be service connected for compensation..So you will need medical records of in service treatment to your Back while in military,private or VA, from disease
