Clueless1

Hello all, I'm new here and have a few questions. Luckily I found this site, as it seems to be exactly what I'm looking for. Anyway, I'm currently Active Duty and ETS date is in 2015. I'm young and in solid shape, but have developed a few nagging injuries over the last few years in the military. I have sustained a shoulder injury which I received physical therapy for, and most recently an injury to my IT Band(outside of knee) after a long run. I also experience serious back pain at times(usually when rucking) but being stubborn I haven't been seen for it yet. These inuries bother me at times and I'm just now realizing that I'm not going to stay young forever, and if they are bothering me now then I'm sure they aren't going to get any better as I age. So that brings me here. I do have intentions of ETS'ing but want to have my ducks in a row before hand. I know absolutely nothing about filing a claim for these injuries before/after my ETS, or what I need to do to have a chance at a fair rate(after readiing on this forum I've realized that most people don't). Does seeing a provider more often because of these injuries help with that? I try to avoid appointments because I don't want to be known as "that guy", but if this is going to affect me in the long run then I definitely want to do what needs to be done. Any help at all is appreciated, thanks!
