I am a SSG and have been in the Army for just over 10 years. I have been having chronic hand pain in both hands and some arm pain for almost two years now. I have had x-rays, MRI's, and recently a nerve study was conducted. I have not been able to receive a diagnosis as of yet. I have been on and off P3 profiles for the last 6 months and was told my next step is to medboard. Career wise I am good if they decide to put me out, however I am concerned about them not being able to diagnose my pain and what could possibly happen. I was already informed by my chain of command that I would be medically reclassed If I am found fit for duty and I just reclassed to a desk job fall of 2015. Any information would be helpful. Thanks.
I do have other issues I can claim with the VA as well, deployment related anxiety, noted disk height loss at L3, and have had chronic back pain , with skin disorders as well.
