C & P Exam Diagnosis

[deyjason]

First let me give a little back ground, I have had knee pain, ankle pain, back and neck pain, and a digestive disorder for about 10 years now. I just recently filed a claim with va 3 years removed from service. I was diagnosed in the military with numerous sprained ankle and later chronic ankle pain and attended physical therapy. I was also diganosis with ITB strain of the knee. Also was chronic mechanical neck pain which I also attend physical therapy and was given a TENS unit, and finally gastoenteritis.

The va doctor for my C & P diagnosed knee tendinitis, ankle tendinitis, early degenerative disc disease of the cervical spine, and Irritable bowel syndrome. He said that all 4 conditions were at least as likely as not to be service connected.

Are these conditions compensatable? Does it look good or bad based on the diagnosis?

Thanks in adavance your your responses.

Do you have copies of the C&P exams? Sometimes documents get lost in the VA system. Let's hope the VA rater will even read it.
