[C&p Exam]

JUST GOT MY C&P EXAM BACK TODAY AND IT READS,based on data reviewed here and its congruency with information on possibile side affects of methocarbamol and diclofenac , it is least as likely as not(50/50 probility) that the veteran, current complaints of stomach problems and acid reflux are related to pain and muscle relaxer (sic) medication prescribed for service connection right shoulder disability.

I belive that i have won this claim,but i welcome any

input from anyone.What do you think?

[Acid Reflux Question]

MY QUESTION, IS ACID REFLUX AND STOMACH PROBLEMS ONE DISABILITY OR TWO?

[Stomach Problems Acid Reflux C&p Results]

Just recieved a copy of my c&p exam today and IT READS

(STANDARD MEDICAL OPINION)

THE CONDITION/DISIBILITY is it as least likely as not that the veteran's

current complaint of stomach problems and acid reflux are related to pain and muscle relaxer medication precribed for sc right shoulder disability?

IS AS LEAST LIKELY AS NOT (50/50 PROBABILITY)CAUSED BY OR A RESULT OF STOMACH PROBLEMS AND ACID REFLUX.

MY QUESTION IS WILL THIS OPINION HELP ME WIN MY CLAIM .

[Mh Professional]

Today I saw my mental health professional and guy is good he told me that pain causes depression and that depression makes the pain worse. So i listened as we put a plan of action in place which call for physical activity and medication like prozac and tramadol. So i plan to try this and see what happens,aside from the fact that the VA is willing to treat my illness but is unwilling to compensate me for the same illness.

Question How do i force them to give a MH C&P Exam.

[Initial Mh Evaluation]

Not sure have you requested a C&P?

not yet I wanted to gather more evidence.

[Initial Mh Evaluation]

My question is this enough to petition the VA for a proper C&P Exam

for depression/chronic pain syndrome Secondary to my service connected

injuries.
