Odd C&P for my Knee

[lcurle]

So I went in for a C&P for my R Knee.  I laid down on a table, brought my knee as high up as I could to my chest, and then put it back down again.  Did that 3 times and I was done.  Seems like there was not a complete ROM evaluation done, your thoughts.

Here is their decision:

Osgood Schlatter disease claimed as arthralgia, right knee

Not Service-Connected

Dang fools!!!  Always trying to screw a Vet to save a penny!

So the VA changed my original claim for Arthralgia , Right Knee to Osgood Schlatter disease even though I did not claim it nor mention it nor would it cause the pain in my tendons around the knee.  I guess I will have to wait and get an IME and reclaim it with outside evidence rather than sink in appeals for 8 years.

Not a bad thing, my original 10% for R knee was listed as Osgood, or some DRs call it "Teenager Jumping Knees" from playing sports as a kid, and they claim our knees never grow out of it. Yeah right, anyways R Knee was later changed to a different condition after my L knee was granted SC. Getting the SC is the key, you can always submit for an increase after that. Remember that I am only 10% for R Knee, and another 0% for something else of that knee, even though I have had 2 surgeries already.   Good luck

So...isn't there something about service aggravating pre-exsisting conditions??? If your DX was deemed to have existed prior to your service years, and then aggravated by service, wouldn't that then be service connected?  Because the condition was made worse by service, right?  Just wondering...
