Question

I am new to the forum but i had a c-p for my hip arthritis.I am a desert storm vet and within a few years of getting out my right hip needed to be replaced. the left is on its way out.i had the exam 2 days ago,they did range of motion which was poor.they also asked when the pain started and if i had seen anyone in the military for it .i did not, i discharged shortly after returning from desert storm, and went to my family dr .she wanted to do x-rays but since i recently had x-rays at my private docter she said to fax a copy to her.i had a really difficult time getting the reports but did get a copy of my x-rays on disk .i returned to her office with my x-rays which she refused to accept saying she could not read these.and that i should have been better prepared for the exam.i went home and faxed her my old docters reports stating my condition about having advanced joint disease with one hip replaced allready.these reports i had previously submitted to the va when i opened my claim ,i did not know what to submitt to her . does any one have any thoughts?

Bergin,

Welcome to Hadit. Can you clarify what you say in your post, and be more specific with your questions.

Thank you,

Bergie

i sent them letters from my family docter and chronic pain management clinic saying i have one replaced hip already and the other is wiped out.all my letters say these dramatic bone changes were possibly aggravated or made worse by his time and duties in the military service. i am trying to get the post op report from my orthopedic dr. as i had surgery in 2003 and will fax that.
