Maybe I wasn't clear. I have not seen a civilian doctor for this since leaving the service. My military medical records clearly show the indecent in service and the injuries sustained. My hip and knees began to get worse over the years so I filed. I had no current diagnosis at the time of the C&P unless the diagnosis from 17 years ago is considered current lol. Havent been to a doctor since getting out. I am just wondering if I should worry about the diagnosis of a "strain" as it seems to me a strain would heal over a few weeks months. This has been going on for years. I have never been diagnosis with a strain so it must have come from the C&P examiner. As I said before once I got into the system my va doctor gave a diagnosis of hip impingement and arthritis.
I guess my real question is, should I file for hip impingment and arthritis or let it stay as is? It looks like the % will not change either way.
