Post In process of IPEB

I am a Marine Stationed in Japan and I am awaiting the results of my IPEB. I have been on limited duty for a year and a half do to an injury that occured while working. Then while on light duty I was forced to pt with my shop. So instead of my knee healing it got much worse. I got diagnosed with muscle degeneration and nueropathy entrapment popliteal. Pretty much any time I exert my knee ( even walking to much) my muscle swells and my nerves get crushed. I have bad enough damage that it will take several years to heal if it ever does and the docs said there is nothing they can do for me. This leaves me in either severe pain or paralyzed from my knee down. I can't pt, deploy, or do my MOS. I have only been in for three years and I am worried that because I am only a year away from my EAS and my package was written by a orthopod and not a nuerologist that I will get put back on full duty or permenant limited duty. My package has been gone for almost two months and my peblo can't tell me nothing. So I have no idea how much longer to expect before I get some word. I am anxious and nervous and worried. the only experiences that I have had with this process did not work out for either party.
