Lastingeffects
So last year I was service connected for several conditions. 40% overall. When I had My C&P i had never seen a doctor for these conditions and had no current diagnosis. Here is what I was awarded:
right hip strain
right hip strain limitation of flexion
right hip strain limitation of the thigh
Later I was able to see a va doctor and was diagnosed with a right hip impingement and arthritis in both knees. My question is this. Should I worry about the service connection showing a "strain" instead of what I was later diagnosed with. A strain seems "not permanent" to me even tho I have suffered with it over 20 years. How would you handle this?
Also just diagnosed with sleep apnea and given a cpap by the va. Still trying to decide if its worth pursuing.
Thanks for any input.

Thank you for actually answering my question without ripping into my post. It didn't occur to me that these could be filed as secondary conditions. again thanks!
