Question
GoNavy1775
Good morning and happy new year!
I am currently at 60% broken down as follows: (they denied left and right radiculopathy, gonna try again)
I current have a CPAP machine issued by the VA...Can I connect the cervial strain/asthma to sleep apnea? Wondering if they limited movement in the neck positions me in such a way that exacerbates the situation. Not sure the allergic rhinitis would come into play either. Any feedback would be helpful. Obviously, like everybody here, trying to reach that magic number of 100%. I also just put in for tinnitus this morning, which would be 10%. I did that myself and plan to try to do the sleep apnea myself too.
Thank you in advance,
AG

Go to a spine specialist. Ask them to note the etiology of your current radiculopathy. Take any x-rays/MRI's you have had with you to this appointment. Your goal is to see if a medical professional wi
