Hello all!
As stated in my title, I'm new to the PEB and don't really know what to do. I am a 21 Y/O female with 3 years active service with one year left on my contract. I was placed on Light Duty for 8 weeks after what medical diagnosed as a "hip flexor strain," and then later on "hip pain." I was placed on LIMDU for the latter on Sep 15 (stupid, I know) and after being given an MRI, I was found to have moderate labral tears in both of my hips along with sciatica and gluteal piriformis syndrome. I was given conservative treatment to date, and at the end of my LIMDU period, I was still in square one! Oddly enough, instead of being placed on a second period of LIMDU, I was referred to the PEB immediately after my first. So, I don't have an MEB to go off of, nor am I sure if they're just trying to get rid of me before my EAS and avoid "expensive treatment," or...what.
That was on 20160310; I was told that a PEBLO should have been in contact with me within a week or two, but it's been a month and I haven't heard from anyone at all. I turned my papers into the LIMDU POC and I wasn't given any type of advice on what to do (besides being told I should have never graduated boot camp because of my chronic stress fractures and other injuries) and I don't know what to do from here. My MOL says that my medical case has been referred to the PEB for action..whatever that means!
Any help is really appreciated, because if they can't help me get better, then I want to get the heck out and find someone who can ASAP!

) They had me set up to see the PEBLO the next day. I think if you've waited that long then something is not right. They should have you working on getting a NMA from the command and getting you to the VA exams.
