I suffered a broken pelvis from a parachuting operation back in the 90's. I've been rated 10% for about 20 years. My pain has increased an incredible amount over the past year. Many veterans are telling me to file a claim for an increase and giving me pointers to help my case. One being that the night before I get x-rayed, they said to jog or run for as much as I can tolerate and that will make my arthritis show up better on an x-ray? anybody know if this is true?

Welcome to Hadit.com The real question is does arthritis show up on x-rays? Unless there is some type of bone loss, I am not sure if the x-ray is done with some type of radiation chemical. Don't

This does NOT sound like a good idea. Not for your physical health and Not from a legal perspective. My point is that it would be seen as fraud. The same as a veteran who pulls up to the VA

I don’t think exercise will show up however it could change your range of motion? I don’t think there is rom of the pelvis. Don’t go out and hurt yourself. I recommend that you document your symptoms
