Compensation Exam

Question

Good morning everyone,

 

I just had my compensation exam yesterday(yes on Easter Sunday) and while it seemed like a fairly thorough exam in some aspects, in other aspects it seemed a little light. I suppose the goal was to fill out the forms vs paint an accurate individual picture of what's going on. While I'm not completely dissatisfied I did feel like when the range of motion portion came around I was pressured to go beyond pain and well out of my comfort zone, is this normal? I suffer from severe lower back pain and when the exam was over I was getting spasms for quite some time. I told the doc and asked for some advil to help me out a little but he was not able to dispense. Thoughts?

the doctors at the c&p exam don't dispense pills. Go to your local hospital. tell them you are a veteran. they will charge the VA. Don't worry the VA will write off 80% of the bill. you might have to pay for the x-ray treatments. if you are given a script from the hospital take it to your va and have your va doc write a va prescription for the civilian medicine.

So back is all ROM. You may have an uphill battle to get a good percentage. Do you happen to have the ROM they took?

The spine specialist/surgeon evaluated me as <10% of normal ROM with pain in writing and I submitted that to the VA along with all my other supporting documents. I do not know what the VA evaluating doctor's ROM numbers were.
