Question

Good evening to the good people of Hadit,
Thanks to you all who've made this site such a valuable resource for us VA 'challenged' vets.
Background:
I' am service connected for high arches (pes cavus) and currently rated at 30% bilateral. I had surgery to correct the problem while I was in the Marine Corps, but wish I didn't. The procedures that were done have greatly changed the way I walk and how my feet hit the ground. I have to change the way I walk often because my right foot, knee and hip cannot bear my weight for any extended period of time. Both feet feel completely different and my right side is constantly inflamed.
Question:
I put in for right hip, knee, and ankle and lower back as secondary to my condition with the blessings of my VA podiatrist. My C&P doc wrote the following: The veterans hip, knee, ankle back conditions are all related to alteration of gait mechanics related to his pes cavus condition. He has developed inflammation due to his alteration of gait and his hip, knee, ankle, back conditions are at least as likely as not proximately due to the veterans service connected condition of pes cavus.
What am I looking at here if all x rays come back with “normal”?
Also, I am service connected for scars. He acknowledged I do have scars, but answered NO when asked if the scars are painful or unstable or is the area of all related scars greater than 6 square inches. This is only half true. The scars are painful and tend to be restrictive. Can his answer cause me to loose my rating for the scars?
Should I write a letter to VA to explain this?
Thank you in advance.
