i was awarded 10% for bilateral upper and lower peripheral neuropathy.
here is my c&p results
symptoms present: weakness,stiffness,numbness paresthesias,dysesthesias,pain.
mobility problems; vet can trip over feet as cannot feel them.
course since onset; progressively worse
current treatments. loricet 10/650 prn
response to treatment;fair
assistive devices; cane partially effective is there gait abnormality; yes vet can only walk slowly using a cane for support
nerves affected; small distal peripheral nerves
vibration,pain/pinprick,position sense,light touch are all decreased distal to mid foreams and mid calves
this is secondary to diabetes type2 due to agent orange exposure in viet nam
