In June 2020, I injured my back and hip while on active duty COVID-19 orders. LOD was completed. After months of physical therapy, steroid injections, pain management meds, etc. the doctor "cleared" me to return to full duty even though he stated my back would never be "normal" again. Shortly...

I do agree they have intentionally delayed several steps along the way and I believe they wouldn't worry about my case (or anyone else's) had I not continuously pressured them along the way. Luckily I have saved all of my documentation along the way and kept an e-mail chain of communication of...

Same base and still waiting approval from 2 LODs that was sent up 6+ months ago. They have been kicked back multiple times now because the medical squadron did not code them right or didn't attach medical notes or something seemingly simple. Had surgery canceled the evening before a scheduled...

I am pretty sure we are at the same base and had this discussion before. To update my issues with this same clinic, I have one LOD that wasn't initially filed in relation to an injury and another the medical clerk attempted to edit at her discretion based on her misunderstanding medical note...

I'm hoping I can get some information from someone with knowledge and/or experience with the MEB process. About 2 years ago now I injured my back and hip while on COVID-19 orders with the Air National Guard. LOD was completed to cover my back and it's well documented. I am now starting the...

Update. March 1st: Spine specialist stated there is no surgical intervention they could proceed with that they could say would alleviate any pain. Any surgery at this point would be more risk than reward. They believe discs will continue to deteriorate. They added chronic pain syndrome and...

The LOD for the back and hip hasn't been approved and sent back down for me to see what was listed as diagnosis. The doctor diagnosed my hip with torn labrum, hip impingement syndrome, and bone spurs. He also stated I have DJD at this point which if I understand correctly is basically...

Thanks for the reply. Timeline: June 24th, 2020: injured back/hip while on active duty orders in response to COVID-19. Back completely locked up as well as hip. Was unable to walk or stand up without assistance. Taken by ambulance to the ER. ER doctor stated he believed it was a bulging disc...

I'm new to this group so forgive me if this is a recurring theme/question. June 2020 I injured my back and hip while on orders for COVID response (Air National Guard member). Since I have been diagnosed with herniated disc, piriformis syndrome, radiculopathy, sciatica, degenerative disc disease...
