Sorry to keep asking questions my first day here, but I'm learning a lot. I read another post about a vet who claimed chronic pain secondary to an already assigned 10% for a knee condition. I'm currently rated 30% for my right knee. But I also have daily and often bad knee pain. I've had 2 surgeries over the last 10 years to "clean up" the knee. I'm on pain meds daily and get knee injections every 6-8 months. I'm fighting as hard as I can to delay/not have a knee replacement.
The question, since I'm already rated 30% for the right knee, can I also claim Chronic Pain as a separate rating for the right knee? I'm 20% for the right shoulder with similar problems 3 surgeries but less pain and not taking anything for it. Can I claim chronic pain for that too? Is that two chronic pain claims/rating or one?
Man this can be confusing sometimes! Thank for the help.
