Question
Charleese
Hi,
My husband has been diagnose with and has Bilateral Carpal Tunnel Syndrome by both Private Doctor and VA doctors. He has this ever since the 90s. He had operation in 2004 on right hand which did not help and now he refuses to have left hand operated on.
As you know he has a left knee injury that is service connected. He has osteoarthritic changes to it. He has Atrophy which they say is because of limited use of his left knee. He now has a knee brace for left knee, plus he uses a cane. He has arthritis in Left Shoulder and Right Shoulder, Gout, as well as arthritis in right knee. He has Elevated High Blood Pressure, Diabetes, Diabetic Eye, High Colestorol, Depression, obesity,
He has plenty of medical evidence both past and current for all of the conditions above both by Private Doctor and VA medical doctors.
He has yet to put in for these conditions because he doesn't know which is SC or Secondary.
My question is how can he get Service connected for CTS or would this be Secondary to Osteoarthritic changes.
Second question which conditions above would be SC or Secondary.
Thanks!
