C-p Exam For Hip Arthritis

Rate this question

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?

Got results of claim 10 percent ptsd but denied service conection for arthritis. letter from va stated docters reports relied on speculation saying arthritis was possible caused by activities in service .and the docters used statements such as possibly aggrivated, possibly due to activities in the service, and could have been agrivated or made worse. they said these statements relied on speculation rather than pointing at a specific incident. my dav rep says to file a nod and send in supporting medical documentation. my question is i think the well is gone dry on medical documentation. my private docters don`t even want to deal with writing any more letters to the va,they wrote the first letters but refused to be anymore specific . where do i go from here if i cannot get any more medical documentation ?
