I have an exam scheduled next week for my knees. I've had trouble locating my medical records and so has the VA so when I made the initial claim for my knees I figured it would be immediately dropped because the rep that called me said I needed to provide documentation and I told him I don't have a copy of my medical record and for some reason it cant be located by the VA either. Anyway to my surprise I got scheduled for a C&P next week. My knee issues are constant pain (even when resting) and really bad pain when bending......especially in my left knee. I will be honest and tell them all I can but are there any tips I can get to assist to ensure I don't miss anything that I should pass along? Basically what should and shouldn't I say? Again, I plan on being fully honest but I don't want to screw this up either.

Without medical records, ~~ perhaps you could retrieve a Buddy (lay) statement from someone who witnessed an injury during service making sure that they explain objectively what they heard/saw in rega
