First let me say that I know I keep asking you stupid questions, but we know nothing of this, to bear
with me. My husband is the one that had the toe surgery at the VA and now he can not bend the toe and is still in pain, taking tramadol. He has been taking tramadol for over a year and of course hates the pain but when
he takes tramadol, he is whoppy headed and sleepy. Anyway we're still trying to research this before
making that plunge. He ran across something that said...When you file the 1151 they would then order
a c&p. Is this correct? He has a copy of his records, so should he do this now or wait? The podatrist told him
the toe would take a year to heal from the surgery and the surgery was in April or May. He just has absolutely
no releif from the surgery and we know there is still something wrong with the toe. We do not want to jump
with the 1151 too soon. Could you please tell me your opinion on this.

Hi Berta,
First let me say that I know I keep asking you stupid questions, but we know nothing of this, to bear

no releif from the surgery and we know there is still something wrong with the toe. We do not want to jump
with the 1151 too soon. Could you please tell me your opinion on this.
Thanks for the help,
