Question
TLaff
My C&P examiner told me she was new and I was her first C&P patient, I put in for a claim for my cervical (3 level fusion) and my low back and forgot to mention my thoracic. I was given a rating of only 20% for my cervical and 10% for my lumbar. During the examine the Dr. pushed down on my head forcing it to get the measurements she wanted causing my pain and grinding like chewing on grissel. The answers she put down are mot my answers to her questions. I am getting ready to file a NOD as soon as i get all further evidence and a accurate range of motion from a chiropractor. For what i have read on the forums I may have several separate claims i can file for my problems and i would like some advice.
Can anyone tell me what all I can file for ?? listed below is al listing of my problems and let me know if a Dr. should reword any of the problems????
Cervical
Fusion of C4-5, C5-6, C6-7, Spinal Stenosis, I have continued numbness through my arms hands and fingers with some pain. I have constant pain throughout my neck more to the right side and intense headaches that get stronger as the day goes bye and only lying down seems to help.
Thoracic
Spondylosis, Facet Arthropathy, Multiple thoracic intervertebral dysrelationships (subluxation) function abnormally resulting in pain, muscle spasm, and sometimes nerve malfunction.
Lumbar
Spinal Stenosis, Intervertable disc syndrome, Rupured Disc (Annular tears), Sciatica, Degenerative Disc Disease throughout his entire spine, Facet Arthropathy at all levels,
Arthritis degenerative throughout entire spine, Schuermanns Disease, Intense pain in lower mid back constant increasing with movement or standing and lying down or sitting for any length of time increases pain. Intense pain down legs and thighs and buttocks.
I would appreciate any help, Thank You in advance for your time and consideration.
