I am new to this forum and hope I post this question in the correct area.
I am currently rated at 20% for "8513 - All radicular groups" for a closed comminuted fracture (8 pieces = 8 retained screws) of the left humerus. They also assigned 10% for "5024 - Tenosynovitus" left arm and left shoulder for chronic pain.
Would opening a new claim for bone deformity and tricep muscle injury be considered pyramiding?
Please assume I have the medical evidence to support the new claim.
