Arthritis effects us more as we get older.

No I haven't, I work in law enforcement and just try and tuff it out with hotwater bottles, ibuprofen, etc. It is now to the point that I need pain medication and muscles relaxers. I am going to see a private orthopedic this week.

In 1999 they gave me 10% for my left shoulder (osteoarthritis). Now years later it is really starting to bother me causing neck pain and headaches. Does anyone know if they can increase just this one condition?

10 % each knee (osteoarthritis)/10% left shoulder (osteoarthritis)/10 % left foot (heel spur)/ 10% left foot (ankle strain)/0 % dorsal spine spur/0 % lumbosacral strain.

I am retired army (20 years) and have a 40% VA disability granted in 1999. How can I get an increase?
