Question

Hi I served three years in the Army from 2000-03 as a 11c with an honorable discharge. I ets from camp casey korea and had filled a claim during my exit exam for my left knee and left shoulder. Both were approved for tendonitis and i was rated at 20 %. At the time of my exam i also complained of lower back and hip pain on my left side. I belived it was due to my left knee. We were road marching and running a lot in korea, thats what the infantry does. In 2004 when i got my 20% rating for my knee and shoulder the claim for lower back and hip pain were deferred.Fast forward in jan 2013 i went to the county vso and had them help me file for an increase for my shoulder it has continually gotten worse. The claim took a year and at the end i was granted 30%. The weird thing is when i received my rating in the mail the old claims were addressed stating we see that your claims for lower back pain and hip pain in nov 2003 are unreloved sorry for any inconvenience. Online on e benefits the claims for lower back pain and left hip pain just appeared one day and are in administrative review. My question is what do i make of this what do i do?

More detail

When he asked me to bend over for range of motion and try to touch my toes I told him my back has pain but I started and less than 20 degrees into the reach my back froze up and let out a loud popping noise I said ouch he said I heard that. He said I think you have some injuries in your back. He also claimed that my left leg was weaker than my right and noted that. The va has not made other appointments for me for x rays or s anything else
