I have the following disability's 40% ivds, 20% RT foot drop, 20% Rt lower radiculopathy, 10 % lower radiculopathy and a few other for total of 80%. Ever since I had my last surgery for lumbar fusion I have nothing but chronic pain in my back, legs and hips. Does the above percentages cover the pain, of is Chronic Pain something different to put in for. I have tried drug therapy, acupuncture, physical therapy, and chiropractor. Still no relief, this has been going on for two years no since surgery. Thanks for all inputs. Ken
