Question
Joe01
I had appeal the Va decision of 10% for cervical spine and 10% lumbar spine raitings on oct 2009. Had a call from C&P to schedule for next week, so I did. Here's a little bit of history. When I had my first c&p on 2008 I had not much history on this disAbilities other than service records and complains of pain, physical therapy with only short term relive and prescribed muscle relaxants, antinflamatories, and pain meds and a tens unit with st relief too, wich I don't use cuz it make my muscles feal thigther. I'm currently going to chiropractic once a month, again only short term relief from this. A couple month ago I had the first MRI done on back and neck. According to my pain managment doc via a phone conversation, cuz I haven't seen him since before the MRI results came out cuz his schedule is full???,anyways, according to him MRI shows a herniated cervical disc on c5/6 and a degenerative disc disorder on L4/5, wich finally explains my pain on neck and shoulders, now getting worst with arm and hand falling asleep and needles sensations some time. On my lower back I get pain going down one of my legs some times. What should I expect on this c&p? Will it only be for ROM? Will I have time to tell and explain all this to my c&p doc? Because I haven't seen my physiatrist since oct, before the MRI was done, will this affect my case?
I would appreciate inputs and suggestions!!
