oldman273
I am in need of any advice on traumatic artheritis in my entire back which I am SC for due to injuries that occured during service 20 plus years ago. I had a MRI that showed my whole back is eat up with artheritis and I did not need an MRI to tell me that but I did the blood test Doctors evaluated the back and MRI and called it traumatic artheritis. In the VA C/P examainers opinion he stated the Artheritis was not service connected of course I was in a jeep wreck during service hurt my back during same time frame backs been nothing but trouble. I started out with a back strain/ Jeep wreck herinated L5 S1 now they are replacing the very four disc from the sacrum up and putting in rods and screws and fusion in May. What do I do to get a Doctor to say that as the progression of the deteriation of my back from then to now is the direct result of my SC back? I am scheduled for surgery but for the last 4 years my back has really been steping out on me. Any thoughts let me know I am sure some of you may have the answer I need just not sure how explain it to them that makes sense.
