So I’m new here after being kinda little fed up with Reddit. I have a back claim question…..
I got out in ‘05 and had service connection for, “ Postoperative residuals, left knee anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction and medial meniscus debridement Service-connected disability? Yes. Effective date: 11/19/2005 “
So over time my knees got worse and my back did too. In 2014, I had terrible back pain with sciatica on right side. I went to my primary care and after a x-ray I was diagnosed with “ degenerative narrowing of the l4-5 and l5-s1 discs, with early osteoarthritis” and right side Sciatica. I went a few more times for sciatica over the years. With that pain I also have radiculopothy on back of both legs.
Soooo….im claiming this secondary to my knee pain. So DDD set in 9 years after I get out, thought that took decades? Has anyone filed a claim like this and what were the issues? I have my C&P this Friday and been doing some research on the CFR and everything…i just feel the VA always gonna shoot it down first go around.
