I have been out since 1995 - I am at 70% due to medical discharge with my back and related issues. Over the last 8-10 years I have had hip discomfort and has got really bad. I saw a hip specialist who looked at the MRI. He said at my age my hip joint has way more wear and tear than it should at my age. Its bone against bone and I am getting injections to treat. He said he normally sees this condition in marathon runners. I am by no means a runner. I have a desk job. I did play rugby and soccer in the marines and general PT of course. I cant explain this wear and tear other than those activities. I have not played any sports after getting out. Does anyone think this could be connected if I put in a claim? I have included the MRI notes.
