Hey guys,
I am going to see the Comp Dr. in about 10 hrs.
Since I filed my initial claim I have been diagnosed with 5 new disorders that I haven't claimed yet. This makes me fearful as to how it will go. In the morning I will be seen for 2 herniated discs, Arthritis, Achilles Tendonitis in both legs, a skin disorder and a problem with my foot. All have substantial evidence from TMC's and combat hospitals so I should be good to go.
I have yet to claim SI Joint Disorder, Spondylolisthesis (L5), DDD, Piriformis Syndrome, and cysts on spine linked to traumatic injury.
Should I bring these other problems up before the exam so he know's I'm not blowing smoke about pain caused by the unclaimed injuries. For example, Spondylolisthesis creates a lot of pain when bending backwards but without claiming it yet he might think I'm full of **** when I say how bad it hurts to bend backwards..maybe I am just nervous I won't get what I deserve. Any help or advise would be appreciated!
