Possible Related/Secondary Issues From Long Ago?

[overthere]

Hi, I'm new, recently been reading these type forums and other medical info sites, got me wondering.   Maybe nothing here, or it's been too long?

Injured in 'Nam 1970, booby trap, USMC Infantry

residuals multiple sfw with bowel perforation/adhesions of peritoneum - 10% - 1972 (had surgery 1970 partially severed gastric artery, and had a loop colostomy which was 'closed' after couple of months)

injury abdominal wall muscle - 0% - 1978

 

1998 - surgery for ("inguinal"?) hernia (maybe related to my "belly problems" above?).

If your 50% service connected for any of these disability's/Contentions.

Do research or ask the  Urology Dr's  and find out if any can be related to or caused by your current S.C. Disabilitys ?

if they say yes  then yes file a secondary claim to that disability start with the date you were diagnosed.... get medical documentation and opinions from the urology Doc's   & maybe find out what is secondary or related to and ask the Dr's to fill out a DBQ Disability's Questioner  For Compensation purposes.
