HadIt.com Elder john999 Posted August 25, 2006 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted August 25, 2006 SFCMoore Probably if your initial service connection for lower back can be connected to the Osteoporosis. Your doctor has to say that your SC conditon caused or aggravated the osteoporosis. That is just my opinion. I bet it can be connected but you need a good medical opinion from a back specialist to back up your claim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
