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 was rated at 10% for each leg initially because of crappy equipment at the VAMC. So I went to a private neurologist, was tested, and appealed my rating. Got bumped up to 40%. Big difference between a tech and antiquated equipment, and a board certified neurologist with state of the art equipment.

I know what you mean about spreading and getting worse. I have been dx'd with dmII since 97.....The P/N only started about 3 years ago, but has progressed more rapidly as time goes on. For me I think it is worse in my hands. Maybe I just think that because it effects so many things I try to do....My new nick name has been "butter finger" , "dropsy" and a few I shouldn't mention. I seem to drop most everything the first time I try to pick it up or take it from someone regardless of the weight. I just can't judge how much pressure I am putting on things. That coupled with the cramps in the thumb and fingers and the deep sharp pain in my forearms...makes life hell.
