Painful motion of knee,

Rate this question

Question

I have a question about painful motion of the knee.  I know that both 5260 limitation of flexion and  5261 limitation of extension can both be granted for one knee and not considered pyramiding.  However, I just got a 10% rating for painful motion of the knee.  They didn't say if it was for flexion or extension.  Does the painful motion of joint in 38 CFR 4.59 only allow for one rating of the joint?  I would think that since both flexion and extension are rated differently that I should be getting 10% for both since my C&P exam states that it was noted on both.

Should I NOD, CUE, or ask for DRO review?

I have had multiple Knee surgeries and I got 10% for both knees. Really hard to get a higher rating unless you have had them replaced. Hardest part is getting Service Connection. You can always submit a new claim for an increase if it gets worse. Good luck and God Bless
