Vamc Apt

[jecsb4]

Hi All,

I am not sure if this is the right forum, but I had an apt with my regular VAMC Dr and I have told this Dr that with chronic bad feet that it causes me back pain.

Was suprised that Dr told me that of all their patients this has never been a complaint stemming from feet.

Funny thing is VARO has SC me for back problem due to feet! How can a regular Dr make such a off the cuff mark comment like that?

I am only talking about back pain from my feet when I stand, walk for a period.

Every piece of med research that I have researched supports the fact that abnormal gate from feet can cause back, knee and hip conditions, even depression.

Heck, I am not even claiming the other issues.

The VA never ceases to amaze me. If I encounter problems like this, I can only imagine what other VAMC patients go through - wait - I can imagine, I read about it all the time at hadit.

Thanks.

Just needed to vent.

I have the same problem and it sounds like your VA Doc is not qualified to treat your service connected condition
