I was told by the VA to not submit for temporary 100% until after surgery. I just did that a week ago. The question I have is how long do I get temporary 100% with a disc removal at the L4,L5 level and how long does it take to start receiving it? Another issue with this is that my back condition has not been linked as SC'd yet. That was submitted too last week. I have sacroiliac dysfunction and this caused my left leg to shorten by 1 and 1/4 inches. This is SC'd at 30%. (Which i feel is low) this condition caused my disc to rupture and it needed removed and the 2 vertebra above and below were reshaped to allow the nerves to pass unpinched. The surgery doesen't seem to be 100% succesful. I still have radiating pain down both legs and numbness in both feet along with spasms in the legs not to mention a burning sensation in my lower back during certian movements.

Any help would be appreciated.
