I was injured in Iraq the in 2003...since I have went thru lots of treatment....I had phisical theropy, electric some-thing, chropractor, Spinal injections, root sleeve and have seen a neuro surgeon, had 3 MRI's....the MRI's say
1. T5-6, T6-7, T8-9, are herniated
it says....the worst is T8/9 it is the greatest...it says the protrusion effacesthe thecal sac anteriorly and abuts the thoracic cord.
2. L4-5, and L5-S have broad based disc bulge with no significant canal or foraminal stenosis apperciated on either...
I have tried to tough this thing out...but at first it was alot of pain with some down my left leg....and after alot of injections I even deployed back to Iraq for a second tour...
Now I have been feeling lots of pain in my chest....like a heart attack....
I am asking for some quality advice...
This injury hurts all day every day...now you add my chest...hip and leg hurts...
I just don't know what they are gonna give me for benifits...and I just had my 1st baby...
I JUST WANNA GET A GOOD % , BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE I AM FALLING APART....I HAVE 11 YRS IN SERVICE AND I AM A SFC (E7)....
ANY ADVICE????????????????
