ExAirman Posted March 12, 2011 Author Share Posted March 12, 2011 Thank you all for your support and information. I have decided to schedule a appointment with a civilian podiatrist and try to get to the bottom of my foot issue. I believe my back issue is directly connected to my foot problem - my foot causes me to limp occasionally when it gets really bad - hmmm - don't you think that throws the whole body mechanics off? I guess my orhto doc just doesn't understand simple physics... I am not sure about the neck pain and where it started. Could have been the body armor I lugged around while in Balad, but who knows - might actually just be what he said - but I will get 2nd and 3rd opinions if necessary,. I certainly do not plan on allowing the VA to blow me off on these issues - I'll pursue to get at a minimum 0% on each just to ensure that I get VA care for them at least - even if I don't get directed compensation.

Gunner9835 Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 THIS is the perfect example of WHY you young folks that are returning from the Middle East MUST make your claims NOW! I couldn't agree more Larry!! I am learning this the hard way as I type........... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autumn Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 If you have a MRI or CT scan and a doctors' statement that support your claim then you need to submit it as soon as possible before VA makes a rating decision. This could cause VA to request another C & P exam or it could create a balance of evidence in your file and VA could grant your service connection. i will have it submitted very soon, thanks for the advice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
