In 1999 I applied for service connection for stress fracture of the lower left leg, it happened on active duty and was recorded in my medical records. I was denied SC because they said they could not find a record of it. So I appealed, snet them copies of my medical records, which they had already, showing service connected, and they awarded me 10% SC.
In 2004 I applied for re-evaluation of my SC disabilities and I got 30% on my lower left leg stress fracture because it comes back when I walk more than 1/2 a mile. They didn't do an Xray and the only way it showed up on Active Duty was with a whole body scan with nuclear stuff shot in the blood.
Now, 2010, I am being re-evaluated again and they want to do an Xray. I told them the Xray would not show anything because it only comes back if I walk more than 1/2 mile, thus I am restricted on walking, standing, etc. Anyway I was wondering how this will turn out now. If the Xray doesn't show a fracture I guess I can appeal and tell them it only comes up when I walk more than 1/2 mile.

Anyone else have this problem?
