plantar fasciitis - no STR on file

Rate this question

Question

Hello - I was diagnosed with PF a year ago and I also currently have pes planus.  I've been to 2 podiatrists and explained my service history.  Background:

I've been in the service for 32 years (half active, half reserve).  I've been on 3 full year deployments (AFG and DJ) and on 2 med cruises.  When i enlisted in 90 my MEPS physical indicated normal arches but its obvious now I have flat feet.  I don't have any thing in my STR about complaints or issues with my feet although like most folks I've also had issues but never complained.  the 2 podiatrists think my service significantly contributed to my current conditions.  I haven't asked them for nexus letters but just want to opinions from this experienced group if i even get 2 nexus letters, without any STR entries if I even stand a chance getting rated.

 

Thx

(I AM NOT A RATER- I work the claims BEFORE they are rated, annotating medical evidence in your records, VA and Legal documents,  and DA/DD forms- basically a paralegal/vso/etc except that I also evaluate your records based on Caluza and try to justify and schedule the exams that you go to based on whether or not your records have enough in them to warrant those)
