I have had back issues since I was in the military. Have been service connected for it for approximately 16 years. Here is my question, Are there two or three parts of the back? I have always been told that the thorasic and the lumbar were considered one section. Everyone from service officers to Drs at the VA. Today I was talking to a buddy, who works as a service officer, but doesn't represent me and he said NO there are Three sections to the back. So is he right?

It's your job to document and tell them what the issues are, too. It's not sneaky for a doctor to not ask you symptoms specifically- they ask non specific open ended questions for a reason- to avoid
