First let me thank everyone is this forum for your service
I’ve been referred to Meb for “anterior ankle Impingement without instability “
At the same time this was referred I’ve also been dealing with knee, spine, cervicalgia, arm problems
Knee: I had a surgery where a cyst was removed , knee hasn’t improved since pt and shock wave therapy
Spine: I have herniated disc c-5 c-7
Arms: while I was in the process to get evaluated for the spine they found that I have carpal tunnel in the left hand, after pt it didn’t get any better , what lead me to be seen by neurologist who determined tha I also have mild cubital tunnel syndrome in both elbows
Cervicalgia: I have neck pain that leads to trapezoid pain and headaches . For the trapezoid I’ve tried pt, dry needling, chiropractor, and pain management. Pain management seem to work the best, but only for about 2 weeks
My problem is that PEB will only consider my ankle as fitting or unfiting condition for what I understand. I’m not sure how much percentage my ankle can give me on the dod side . And I do believe my other problems should be considered as unfitting but my PCM doesn’t want to
1- provide me a p3 for any
2- will not referred me to see the orthopedics for further treatment, either injections or surgery( I understand elective surgery it’s not authorized)
Also im about to have my last c&p exam and I haven’t yet heard a word from legal
I’m just afraid of the outcome . Maybe I’ll be found fit , or I will not have enough percentage to keep tricare and continue taking care of myself
Quick notes about myself I’m a SPC , MOS 15F
Please I will appreciate any intake in this , thank you for your time
