It is up to you. The VA medical does not talk to the VA benefits people on their own initiative. You have to file a claim. You have an implied claim, but the VA will just sit on it.

Why did the ultrasound pinch and hurt? This is not too common. I've had the proceedure done several times, but not by the VA. The only reason I can think of is that the ultrasound head had very poor sensitivity, and higher than normal pressure was needed to overcome the lack of sensitivity. (Marginal or defective medical equipment?)(Poorly skilled operator?)

ultrasound done on leg veins (procedure pinched and hurt too!), could VA automatically increase rating or is it up to me? just checkin' in,cg

I didnt know it was goin' to pinch then either (actually hurt later, still have reminders). I researched on internet and mention of 'slight' pinch feelings being normal. My pinches were not "slight" at all. Will hear what VA doc says soon....Meanwhile, am thinking rating increase will probably be justified, legs arent better, continually swell, I have a tiring part time job that keeps me on my feet having to provide for family. And of course, orthotics and support stockins' can only do so much. cg
