I have a SC left ankle that is totally messed up to the point I wear prescribed braces and walk with a cane. I put in a new claim for my knees and right ankle as secondary to my left ankle. I have been seeing two private Dr.s and both have concluded the problems with my knees and the right ankle are probably associated with my left ankle disability. I had my C&P yesterday in Charleston. I asked the C&P Dr. after the exam if he thought my knees and right ankle were secondary. He said absolutely. I had given him the opinions of both my private Dr.'s, X-Ray reports and actual X_Ray films. He kept them (I have copies).
How do you guys feel about this? Do C&P Dr.'s usually give you an opinion about conditions being secondary to your SC Disability or do you think he was just trying to blow me off.? I hate to get my hopes up.
