Excert from my C&P Exam, what does this mean?

[moneyblind]

Alright, I pride myself in being able to connect the dots between my C&P's and the VASRD, here is an excert under NEUROLOGICAL:

NEUROLOGICAL:

Neurological examination of the lower extremities: Motor functionis within normal limits. sensory exam to pinprick/pain, touch, position, vibration and temperature for the femoral nerve, external cutaneous nerve of the thigh, sciatic nerve, tibial nerve and superficial peroneal nerve(s) is decreased on the right. sensory exam to pinprick/pain, touch, position, vibration and temperature for the femoral nerve, external cutaneous nerve of the thigh, sciatic nerve, tibial nerve and superficial peroneal nerve(s) is decreased on the left.

In regards to the femoral nerve, external cutaneous nerve of the thigh, sciatic nerve, tibial nerve and superficial peroneal nerve(s), the peripheral nerve examination revealed neuralgia. There is sensory dysfunction demonstrated by diminished sensation in the mid back along the scar, there is no motor dys function.
verebellar function is intact. Rombergs test is negative.

NEUROLOGICAL EXAMINATION (SPINE):

CERVICAL RESULTS REMOVED FOR ALL NORMAL. (I dont wanna type them.)

The lumbar spine sensory function is impaired. The sacral spine sensory function is impaired. The modalities used to test function was monofilament. No lumbosacral motor weakness.

L1: Sensory deficit of bilateral upper anterior thighs.
L2: Sensory deficit of bilateral anterior mid-thighs
L3: Sensory deficit of bilateral anterior lower thighs and left inner knee
L4: Sensory deficit of bilateral lateral thighs and right front leg
L5: Sensory deficit of bilateral lateral legs, right dorsal foot and bilateral lateral feet.
S1: Sensory deficit of bilateral back of the thighs, bilateral lateral legs and right lateral foot.

The lower extremiteis show no signs of pathologic reflexes. The examination reveals normal cutanoues reflexes. There are signs of lumbar intervertabral disc syndrom. The most likely peripheral nerve is the femoral nerve, external cutaeous nerve of the thigh, sciatic nerve, tibial nerve and superficial peroneal nerve. The interverebral disc syndrome does not cause any bowel dysfunction, bladder dysfunction and erectile dysfunction.

Removed for All normal

Now I know what this means medically, but how does this translate into the VASRD and what schedule do i look for?

Note: The 100 percent rating will be continued for 6 months following the cessation of surgical, X-ray, antineoplastic chemotherapy or other therapeutic procedure. At this point, if there has been no local recurrence or metastases, the rating will be made on residuals.

usafaviator, you are the man, thanks; Didnt even know where to begin. Now to figure out what constatues the levels of severities.

I am curious as well as to what contributes to the severity. If you find anything out, please post it good sir!
