Bi-lateral Different Ratings?

Rate this question


reTIRED

Question

Thanks to all that help the un-informed.

Has anyone received different bi-lateral (Sciatica) ratings for the legs? I would conceed that the right leg would be rated as mild, but the left should be higher. I've had injections, fusion L5-S1, and a neurostimulator implant. I'm SC 10% for back, 10% depression. Have C&P next week.

Thanks, Brian

Brian, I can't answer that one but keep me informed as I have a C&P the following week for the same thing.

If you have bilateral sciatica it should be rated using the bilateral factor, I believe.

Do you have pain in both legs or just one. Also remember you could have radiculopathy and thats a secondary to the back.

Keep us posted, hopefully someone with knowledge will answer you.
