Question
byromh
Hello to all,
I was referred here by some AF buddies, so I hope to gain some valuable info before I officially retire. I have been reading some posts and I feel that I am in very good hands here:)
I am located in Warner Robins, GA. My questions are in regards to my upcoming retirement physical and my particular medical issues that I have had in my 20 years in the Air Force.
I have had elbow surgery w/a nice scar ( LATERAL EPICONDYLITIS OF ELBOW) , problems with my shoulder, an upper GI for acid reflux, hypertension and several other minor issues, but my most severe issue has been my lower back and I have had problems for sometime. I have seen a neurologist, used may different pain meds, muscle relaxers and even nerve medications and none have really helped. I have also had physical therapy and seen a Chiorapractor and still no results. I have recently been referred to a Pain clinic and will be undergoing some injections, so I hope that this helps!
Has anyone had the same type of issue with their back? and since I will be retireing soon, will I have a chance at any disability for this or any other of my ailments? I know this is a long post and I may even be posting these questions in the wrong section, so any words of wisdom and advice would be greatly appreciated!!! I thank everyone in advance!
