I appreciate the comments. Unfortunately, like most of the guys in my experience, I had more important things to do than go to the Aid Station every time I had an issue. My back issue fluctuated for years, but over the last two years I have had pain, inflammation, muscle spasms, and sciatic pain. Funny how these things catch up to you! -S

Are you sure it is actually at the Waco RO and not stored offsite somewhere? I'd call one of the service organizations to verify where the folder is, and then have them pull it for you to review.

Discharged in 2001. Have had lumbar sprain since I was a heavy wheel mechanic in service. Had private treatment for the past two years. The only time it is mentioned in my service treatment records is on my exit physical. Will that be enough to support my claim for service-connnection?
