My MEB process started when I began to suffer from a two pronged injury. Firstly my back started giving me fits on a daily basis and soon after a severe popping in my hip started. I was put onto a profile for hip pain and now im here. The issue im having is that I need to understand what makes a condition "unfit" in the eyes of those who decide your DOD rating. Is it just based off of the primary driver of the MEB, which in this case is my hip?I have evidence that these two are linked and both are debilitating. I was only on a profile for my hip and was told by my PCM at the time that I could only be under one profile at a time since I did explain to him that the back was right there with the hip as far as debilitation was concerned.
URGENT: ADVICE NEEDED ON UNFITTING CONDITION

Basically you need to keep seeking treatment and if your condition prevents you from doing certain aspects of your job you need to have a profile for it. MEB imitation is pretty subjective. I know the Army more than any other branch and so at least for the Army its when your PCM decides that there is no other treatment to try and that your condition won't improve over the next 12 months and the condition prevents you from doing your job. So its your job to try to get better and its there job to try different treatments and to refer you to a MEB if they think you can be fixed and your condition causes you to not be able to do your job. Becasue of this your MOS makes a big difference. If you work in HR you can manage to work a lot better with a hip issue than if your are 11B (Infantry).
