[Chronic Back Pain With Arthritis. All I Get Is Ibuprofen And Motrin]

i have chronic back pain with arthritis. how do i get out of the ibuprofen crap and get some pain pills that work? i have a therapy ap. on the 29th for my back. i asked last time for tramadol b/c a friend gave me a couple and it helped a lot. the doc told me i was to young for pain pills and prescribed celebrex which the VA wouldnt fill.

what do i need to do or say to get relief!

thanks

i asked them what type of discharge i would get. they told me it would be a honorable discharge. my question is should it be a medical discharge?

[New To Tbi]

i have a tbi appointment mid October. i will post up what it consists of.

[I Have Ptsd And Orders To Deploy]

friday i faxed some medical information to HRC. the next day i get a call saying i have a claim open for exemption. today i get a call telling me i am exempt from this deployment and i am being discharged out of IRR.

think this will help my ptsd claim?

[New To Tbi]

i took a tbi questionnaire today at the VA. i think i am going to have more in-depth screening b/c i had several symptoms that are associated with tbi.

thank you for the information.

I never new what TBI is until i came in this forum. i am a iraq vet that was involvedin several IED's and a c-4 blast that was VERY close and reverberated in-between buildings. i have been reading what side effects are associated with TBI and i feel i could have it. the symptoms that i have are PTSD, neck pain, mood/anger and ringing ears(that i know of). Now my question is how do i go about getting checked out for this? just go to my doctor and request a TBI screening?

[I Have Ptsd And Orders To Deploy]

thanks again for all of your advise. i have to report to where the orders tell me but then i show them my medical information and ''should'' be sent home.

[I Have Ptsd And Orders To Deploy]

i am going to be upfront with them and most likely i will get a medical discharge.

thanks guys for your advise.

i dont think i said this but i am in the IRR and just got orders out of the blue. i got out of the army jan 2008.

what happens if i go to the mobilization and tell them all of my conditions? do i get a medical discharge?

[I Have Ptsd And Orders To Deploy]

thanks for the reply's.

in the army's eyes i am deployable since my army medical records are relatively empty. my VA records on the other hand are a different story. i am planing on going to where my orders tell me to go and just tell them everything is fine and deploy. then come back to the states and continue my VA claim. doing so could this some how mess my claim up?

[I Have Ptsd And Orders To Deploy]

i had a c&p exam first of the month, i was diagnosed with ptsd and a gaf score of 52. thats about all i know about the report. now i am waiting for my disability % from ptsd and my(forget what they call it) board of appeals apt. about my back arthritis,hearing loss, ringing ears and a couple others since they have all been denied. one week ago i got orders to deploy in oct in support of OIF. i am stuck in a rut about deploying, i know i can get out of it but i might go through with it anyways. i just wish i knew what i would get for my ptsd rating. and will they let me deploy with ptsd?
