Question
Carl the Engineer
Well, its that time again, wish me luck!
Finally put it all together and will be dropping it off at the CVSO tomorrow.
1. Increase rating for right foot plantar fasciitis. Currently 10%, 2008. New issue, cortisone shots and orthotics.
2. Secondary left foot/ankle problems caused by above. Recently diagnosed with; Pain in Joint of Ankle and Foot, Ankle/Foot Instability, Pain in Limb, Difficulty in Walking, Bilateral Hammer Toe, Achilles Tendinitis or Bursitis, Tenosynovitis of Foot and Ankle and decreased Range of Motion. I was prescribed a ankle brace for my left ankle for stability. Dr. also mentions my limp in my first visit note with him, so that cant hurt.
3. Secondary rating for heard disease caused by hypertension (currently rated at 0%, 2008). Recently diagnosed with; Borderline concentric left ventrical hypertrophy and Mild tricuspid regurgitation. I also asked if the heart disease pre-dated the hypertension (I have an irregular EKG from 1999 while in the Army) and if the heart disease should have been found at the time of the hypertension in 2004.
That and a bunch of medical records supporting same.
So we will see where that takes me.
I am currently at a raw 72, so a 10 gets me 80. Which will help. 90 is probably out of reach for me currently as I am doing pretty good and don't see any biggies coming up.
I will keep posting any updates I get from the puzzle palace, and of course my up coming C&P's.
Thanks for caring,
Hamslice
P.S. Don't let me forget to call the VA back and schedule my colonoscopy. The bastards want to probe me again......
