Question
iceturkee
i am currently 40 percent for my thoracolumbar spine. last may i had an mri of my lumbar spine (for pain clinic) and as you know showed 5 herniated discs, a grade one vertabrae slip, spinal and foraminal stenosis, 2 torn discs and multi-level arthritis.
when i had my ortho c&p in october 2011 for my IU, they used the results of a routine lumbar xray which showed only arthritis and they kept me at 40 percent.
i have also been wheel chair bound since 2005 for my back and inflammatory arthritis.
i am considering filing for an increase based on the mri findings and (hopefully) a statement from my current primary care doc that i am use an electric wheelchair due to the severity of my back condition. i also have radiculopathy.
would i have a good shot at an increase to 60 percent or higher? thanks.
