Hello all, I have two weeks left on active duty before I get discharged. I just started filling out form 21-526. I just want to be sure I claim what I need to. I will give some info about myself. I have served 6 yrs national guard, switched to reserve did 3, then joined active duty Coast Guard. Anyway I had disk fusion surgery last year: L5-S1 post complications include radiating pain down leg apparently from nerves. Loss of ROM, and possible bladder issues. Just looking for all and any advice into what not to do or what I need to do. I have been to all the forums and learned a great deal espicially from rental guy :) , I have everything documented and I have copies.
Like I said from my records I have been told I would only probally recieve 20 % dis, I have been complaining about pain radiating down my leg now for about 6 months and ofcourse it is documented. I will be getting my discharge physical done next week sometime, what should I make sure the doc anitates on his report? I understand I prob have scatica and favorable ankylosis, just not sure. And what is a nexus statement? I know some of these questions seem elementarry but I do need some advice. Thank you all for the posts..... :)
