Just got my notice for upcoming exam on Friday the 17th, for my left foot condition to include plantaar fasciitis. When I first filed the claim, back in the beginning of May, I mailed off copies of all SMR and VAMR treatment records. During my VA treatment, some years ago, I received an injection in my foot, to ease the pain from plantaar fasciitis caused bone spurs. Soon there after, I developed burning sensation alternating with pins and needles. This is one of the known side effects of said injections. This is mentioned in my VAMR. What do I say about that? This is something the VA caused, while treating me, for an injury that while occured on AD, hasn't been SC'd yet.
I need some of you more experienced Vets, and or Berta to give me some feedback/guidance on how to go through this C&P exam. This is my first one since I found/joined Hadit.
Also, I do have some issues with my R foot, and did also go get checked out while on AD. It has gotten worse since the decline of my L foot. Should I request the examiner to do a DBQ for R ft condition secondary to L foot condition? I want to do this the right way, since I have known knee, back, and neck issues as well. I would like to be able to claim the neck as secondary, also, to the lower extremity conditions. I feel that 20 yrs of limping, and of my knees giving out, causing me to lose my balance, has caused pain in my neck.
ON a side note, on Monday, the 13th, I go for EMG for my L foot, as ordered by VA Podiatrist, due to my concern of early onset dropfoot. How can I add that into my C&P?

Andy, The C&P is ordered by the VA because of your claim. If your claim is for your left foot, then anything left foot you should bring with, including your EMG on Monday. The examiner wi

I believe, with the new rules, if you start a new claim before your last claim is finished, i.e., money in the bank, they will combine the two. So your claim that is just about done, would be thrown
