slough52,

SUBMIT THE FORM! Never trust the VA to do anything for you. Make a copy for your records and mail it to the VARO,certified, return receipt requested. Good luck on your claim.

Johnjr is right on here. We empower to trust our VA as they are our source of medical care. Some Docs are real helpful. Others are just stiffs waiting to get to their retirement,

If you have a good one, Great, A Neurologist is not the Doc you need. You need a Neurosurgeon. Their opinion trumps a Plain Neuro Doc.

Anyway, How much bed rest are you having to do or have been prescribed?

How bad is your Back ROM?
