Kelly,
You need to have an accurate ROM study done. Be persistent on this and ask for an Independent Medical Advisor if they won't fix this in the narrative summary.

Hi Kelly,
You know, I don't remember where the link is...but have you seen the guidelines for ROM tests. Its a good idea to look at it and then if you need to even take the copy to the doc with you, do so. I'm not sure how ROM tests are given for arms/shoulders, it is your shoulder right? Geez, I read your post an hour ago and I can't remember. I do care, thats just how I've been rollin' lately...Scary. I think the VASRD, or the VA site has the guidelines.....someone else if you're reading this and you can remember where to find the guidelines...if you can chime in it would be great.
By the time my package went up to the board I had a white 3" binder full of the AFI's, VASRD info and notes from this website
. Good luck to you. Keep educating yourself, and if something doesn't feel right along the way-trust your instinct...and then find supporting documentation for your case!
