SLEDGE Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 After they (The VA) cured my chronic low back pain with the magic keyboard I consulted with a top spinal specialist in the private sector. The VA diagnosis was minor arthritic changes, normal for someone my age. The private doctor knows about how the VA works. Her diagnosis is moderately severe spinal stenosis and complicated by osteo arthritic narrowing of the root nerve spaces. Private doctors like to explain things to me while they go over the MRI results. I'll be darned, she also says I have evidence of a compression fracture in my distant past. 1970 to be accurate. The VA cured that one too, just recently. Well folks, if the head of the neuro department is practicing political medicine, and that has to be the reason he suddenly got stupid, they ain't gonna touch my spine. My next shrink appointment is next week. The head of that department wants me to go somewhere else. I think I will. sledge Those that need help the most are the ones least likely to receive help from the VA. It's up to us to help each other. sledge twkelly@hotmail.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it kinda like counting the rings in a tree trunk? Amazing! "It is cold and we have no blankets. The little children are freezing to death. My people, some of them, have run away to the hills, and have no blankets, no food; no one knows where they are-perhaps freezing to death. I want to have time to look for my children and see how many of them I can find. Maybe I shall find them among the dead. Hear me, my chiefs! I am tired; my heart is sick and sad. From where the sun now stands, I will fight no more forever." Chief Joseph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLEDGE Posted January 1, 2010 Author Share Posted January 1, 2010 My in-service medical records show a back injury in Oct, 1970. There are no other medical records of any other back or spinal injuries, of any kind, in my case, zero. So, somebodies magic keyboard had to cure the 10-70 back injury, several decades after the fact, so the immediate claim could die from lack of evidence. The medical file documents that illustrate the treatment of the back injury have vanished from my file.
