Question
JayBrown1
I got a call today from the orthopedic surgeon at the VA hospital today informing that they have me scheduled for right knee replacement surgery for January because they are backed up and won't be able to get to me until then and to continue my pain medication regimen (oxycodone 4xdaily and methadone 3xdaily). My right knee is rated at 20% which I believe should be rated higher. My left knee has been fused since 1989 rated at 40% and back rated at 40%. I was told by VA that my right knee was not severe enough for a higher rating butmy medical records and xray showed my knee to be severe and lack stability for daily walking. Can anyone give me information on how to present my case?
