I file a claim to increase my rating in left knee due to another Surgery for tourn Cartlage. The VA scheduled a C/P and I went they where looking at the leg for other reason such as loss of feeling and pain. I resenly had spinal fusion of the L-4 and L-5. Since the fusion on a follow-up visit the nero doc stated the bones didn't fuse quickly ennough and the bones shifted causing them to agian inpinge on the nerve. He claimed that the impingment was causing the pain as before. This is the second surgery on my back in the last two years. I was rated already 50% on the back and didn't file for anything additional because I figured that I was already at the max except the Conv. Now they requested this C/P for a EMG and Nerve study, which I don't won't to every have agian. It hurt like hell. Anyway the Doc after the test stated that I had a slight decrease in the leg nerves due to wearing Boots and tight jeans. I'm 55 and haven't wore boots for over 10 years as well as the tight jeans. I still have muscel problems. By the end of the day I have to lift my leg with My hands and put in the truck, for lack of strenght to do otherwise. The pain in my buttocks and down both legs have increased and now after this test has been done, I don't know what the cause might be. I thought it was the nerves, but after what the EMG/Nerve study showes, What might it be, anyone else have any ideas as to the problem so I can go the correct doctor and find out. It can't be normal to not lift your leg or have control over such an apentage. Thanks Ret. MSgt McQueen
