I just hit 18 years active duty. Over the past two years I have been dealing with back issues. My PCM recommended me for physical therapy and injections; this did not work for me. I ended up seeing a surgeon and he said the my disc was herniated and also ripped. He said that I need surgery and I would be fine. I ended up doing the surgery and a few months later after I started running I was in pain again. Another MRI was done and the same disc herniated again. I saw the surgeon again and he recommended a spinal fusion. I agreed to it. The surgery was done on 22 Jan 18 and I was placed on a one year non deployable status.
By this time I have missed 4 full PT test which triggered the DAWG. Does the DAWG or AFPC look at you are trying to get better? I am sure that I can pass a PT test in about 6 months. Also I was told that they look to see if you can do your job currently, is this true?
