Peripheral Neuropahty- Different Nerves Question

[confusion99%]

Have a question about peripheral neuropathy and total rating percentage. Can you get rated for each nerve? Example...Left upper extremity (radial nerve) 30%

Peripheral neuropathy, left upper extremity (median nerve) 30%

Peripheral neuropathy, left upper extremity (ulnar nerve) 30%

" " right " " (radial nerve) 20%

" " right " " (median nerve) 20%

" " right " " (ulnar nerve) 20%

" " right lower " (sciatic nerve) 20%

" " right " " ( femoral nerve) 20%

" " left " " (sciatic nerve) 20%

" " " " " (femoral nerve) 20%

How would that calculate??using bilateral factor??

other stuff rated

IHD 60%

DMII 40%

Tinnitis 10%

excema 10%

Can someone calculate all this for me please for a total percentage

I have PN in both legs and arms and I get 10% for each, w/a 1.9 bilateral factor.

I got the same 10% rating for hands and feet due to PN. I think your PN must spread from feet to calves to thigh etc before you get a higher rating. In other words it has to get worse, and spread from outer to inner portions of the body.

All the percentages I listed are taken from my rating letter I received Thursday in the BBE. Just curious because I thought each extremity only had one rating, yet in my rating, each nerve is rated with a percent based on my C & P and evidence from my PCP,

[johnjjr]

When my PN was rated, it was 40% each lower extremity, 30% upper left extremity, and 20% upper right extremity.

If they rated each nerve separately, with the bilateral factor, you would have 100% without the other stuff.

John999, you are right about it getting worse. Mine started in my toes and steadily progressed up my legs to my knees. It is slower in my arms but it is progressing. PN secondary to DMII. DMII direct connected to Agent Orange, the gift that keeps on giving.

I wish that those asswipes who rate PN at 10% could feel its sting for a long time.

I just love it when it feels like ants are crawling up your legs. I got 10% for each leg rated as mild.
