So I am a recently separated vet, I was diagnosed with Plantar's facilities in boot and received insoles, but ever since then I bought my own insoles, so that was the first and last time I officially was on record for planters. For my back issue, I went to see a doc, and was officially seen once (by an MD), I was told to go to PT, but never went, my chain of command guilted me out of it at the time. My question is, I have appointments with a podiatrist and a back specialist coming up, I have my DBQ's ready, what would be the best route proving service connect ability. My rate (MOS) required by definition, long periods of straight standing, in awkward positions (which I think caused the back issue) and the constant marching, running and the standing.. etc caused the planters.
I just want advice and help from people with similar personal experiences. If I have a the DBQ's, and the doctor agrees with me and writes a favorable dbq's (which I'm expecting because of web MD research) what are my chances, what else could I do to strengthen service connect ability?

For me both my conditions are separate. My plantar fasciitis is rated at 50% with the bilateral factor included. I too have inserts, plus the boots that immobilize your feet. Look at the rating sche
