First off let me say thanks to every one who posts on here, the information that I have read on here has helped me allot. I recently was denied for my claims of cervical spine condition, thracolumbar spine condition and right shoulder condition. All three conditions in my decision letter state that they are denied because the medical evidence of record fails to show that this disability has been clinically diagnosed. From this I get that my issues are in my records but because I don't have a named diagnoses I am denied. I have tons of in service treatment records from Docs and military neurologists stating that something is going on but they can't put their finger on it. One of the neurologists when I was in thought that I might have parsonage turner syndrome. I have been to my doctor who sent me to a neurologists who did tons of tests and states that my test show some nonspecific myopathic findings. I was awarded degenerative knee joint disease for only two entry's in my service records about knee trauma without having degenerative knee joint disease clinically diagnosed in my records. How do I handle this from here? Do one of my doctors have to make some sort of diagnosis? I have all my military medical records and the records from my neurologist. Can someone help me figure out my next move.
