Hello again, everyone.
I submitted a claim for 2 conditions secondary to Bilateral Knee Arthritis. Shin Splints and Plantar Fasciitis.
My claim was completed, and they took the shin splints and just added the word "shin splints" to my existing condition Knee arthritis. Not as secondary to.....just added shin splints to my existing condition. So, they combined a new condition to an existing condition. This can't be legal. Any advice?
Second condition, plantar fasciitis was declined as the C+P doctor stated that my plantar fasciitis was caused by me standing at my job working in a hardware store, and wasn't secondary to my knees. My contention is that my bad knees and now my bad shin splints CONTRIBUTED to plantar fasciitis, as I have been working at this job LONG before this issue came up. Does anyone know of a way to link my feet to my lower leg conditions and knees?
Because of the way he wrote this, I am thinking I may need an Independent Medical Opinion or Exam
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
