I was pleasantly shocked that my exam was set up a week after submitting my paperwork request. My service rep requested a increase for my flat feet issues and secondary issues due to my 30 percent rated feet. I have pulled up the rating guidelines and I have medical records from my podiatrist. Wish they could skip these exams as the medical records lists everything.
bilateral pain, went the $450 custom inserts and tried for 2 years. No relief. Developed heal spurs and that’s very painful, my Achilles feels like I might snap any day. I tore my calf muscle on top of that due to the way I walk. Some days my Achilles are so tight i can’t leave the house.
Based off the one rating chart I should be at 50 percent. My question is can I expect secondary conditions - heal spurs which i never had before, Achilles’ tendonitis as they are very tight and tearing my leg muscle which took 6 months to heal but I still have issues with my ankles. I read 10 percent for heel spurs but Is it 10 per foot? My podiatrist keeps trying new methods. Sleeping with a brace, buy more inserts, need mri because she suspects I have a hairline fracture in one foot. It adds up to lots of money and hoping this gets rated to the max. I feel like the podiatrist just wants to make more money. I don’t see this improving.
