Shoulder Impingement And Trapezius Strain

[RIVER RAT]

I WAS RATED 10%SC FOR RIGHT SHOULDER IMPINGEMENT AND TRAPEZIUS STRAIN TOGETHER. I THINK OF THESE AS TWO DIFFERENT ISSUES ONE AFFECTS MY SHOULDER AND ONE AFFECTS MY NECK. THE EXAMINER DID RANGE OF MOTION TESTING AFTER TALKING WITH ME ABOUT MY TRAPEZIUS STRAIN BUT HE SAID IT WASN'T PART OF WHAT HE WAS TASKED TO DO. SHOULD THESE BE RATED TOGETHER OR SEPERATLEY?

They will rated together as the shoulder is considered one body segement.

That really sucks but again, this is the VA we are dealing with.
