I am needing to find a Dr to give me a nexus letter. I live in Troy, Mo. I got out of the service in 1988 and am sc for my knee. This injury happened when I fell out of a helicopter and twisted my knee. I blacked out when I hit the flight line and when I regained consciousness I was in extreme pain in my knee. It was doubled up under me. At this time nothing else hurt and over the years I have suffered from back pain. I have since found out I have disc compress and arthritis in my spine in multiple places. I have had to have two nerve blocks due to the arthritis in my spine pushing on my spinal cord. I am needing to find a Dr to give me a nexus letter for this. Does anyone know of a Dr in the St. Louis area? Thank you for your help.

I agree with Whodat. File for everything that you think you can get. Times are going to get very tough for disabled vets.

Oh, yes, if you have chronic pain start to see a shrink. Depression and disability go together. Even your half-ass VA shrink might make that connection. As Dr. Who says stay in treatment. Put on th
