I have just started the process to re-evaluate my disabilities and am seeking advice. I claimed issues with knee after ACL reconstruction, and got 0%...I understand that my ROM might have been fine, but not without pain...they also said I could walk with normal gait. I got 10% for lumbar strain with degenerative changes, and got 0% for bone spur with degenerative changes. The problem is that I did not have enough pain for them to rate higher than 0 for several of my issues. They did however do x-rays and noted that there were a few issues that I did not claim that I should get service connected....most of them are the other appendage (ie. I claimed left knee, they noted similar issues with right, etc). Well long story short, things have worsened and walking and doing day to day activities are not so pain free. I am starting the reevaluation process and would like to get any advice for when the C&P evals take place.
