Knee Secondary To Ankle Or Achilles Tendnitis?

[c&p man]

I have tears and degerative things going on in my left knee..i am SC for siactica,ddd,degerative joint diseae ankle,achilleis tendnitis all on my left side. I was wondering since i have stuff going on my left knee which i was seen 4 years ago at a ortho dr..does anyone know how to connect the dots? i mean i know i gota get a nexus letter and diagnoses ,but how can i say that my left knee is secondary to my SC left conditions?

I'd see either a physiatrist or orthopod...all the other SC left side stuff is bound to effect the way you walk, which will affect the knee. As my podiatrist joked the other day: "the knee bone is connected to the thigh bone...". shouldn't be hard to get a nexus letter to connect the dots for the VA.
