HI...I was wondering if anyone has been successful in get Fibromyalgia as a Secondary SC to Knee injury. I am 30% SC for my right knee, had multiple scopes and then a TKR in Feb. of 2015. In Sept. of 2015 I had to have another scope to remove the scar tissue and to clean up the prosthesis in the Right knee...the moment I woke up from that surgery I had severe neck pain, then shoulder pain, leg pain, skin pain, lethargic...ended up with Bells Palsy and Shingles as well..was tested for Lupus and that was ruled out..I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and started medication. I was also diagnosed with MDD the same time..Ive been dealing with this left knee injury since 1986 and also just had my left knee replaced (in the process of getting left knee as secondary to right knee as well). I was NOT in the Gulf war, so I know I do not qualify under that one. But it is all documented in my VA files, I see a VA doctor every 3 months...I am in the process of getting a Nexus letter from the doc and one from the Pysch as well...Any thoughts or suggestions would be very helpful! Thank you!
