In this video Leah is explaining the process of a C&P exam for veterans with neck pain or cervical spine conditions. She emphasizes that the process should not be a surprise as it is straightforward, though it can be confusing. Leah mentions that veterans will receive a packet with details about the exam, including the appointment time, location, and examiner information. The key component of the exam is the Disability Benefit Questionnaire (DBQ), which she displays and explains in detail. This questionnaire covers various aspects such as diagnosis, symptoms, range of motion, and impact on daily functions. She also touches on other topics like flare-ups, functional loss, radiculopathy, and assistive devices. Additionally, Leah discusses the possibility of a medical opinion being requested to determine if the condition is service-related.

If you're claiming neck and upper back second to another sc, would you file a second claim to the previous claim for radicul or just mention radic during first exam

Just did this today. We will see how it pans out. He asked me about back pain and I said no I get normal back aches from over activity etc but it’s all in my neck. Trying to get it service connected to an injury in my medical records. I did bring up that when I was in in the 90s sick call was not an option as I got hammered on fir being a sick call ranger.

@richburnap7980

What if you previously had radiculopathy but have recently had spinal fusion in the time between filling and the C&P exam? While things are feeling better now I dealt with pain for years.

Hello I need some advise, I finished with my c&p exam and it lasted 30 minutes. She didn’t use a goniometer for range of motion for my back or knee, she eyeballed it. My examiner requested x-rays for my shoulder & knee. Was informed that they may or may not schedule the x-ray depending if they need it. Is this normal? Should I request a new appt?

if you are experiencing radic upper and lower body should you mention it during cervical exam or upper during cervical exam and lower during lumbar exam. I have both issues.

Very informative video. Hey Leah, I'd like to use your services. I got your information off the Discord channel you may have helped on at a previous time. My friends on there speak very highly of you. And I as well. If I use your website to sign up. How likely is it that I would get you as a consultant?

As a veteran with a service connected cervical spine injury I can say the VA ratings for neck and back are a joke. I have been going to treatments nonstop for over two years. Injections, radio frequency ablation, PT, cognitive behavioral therapy, and being prescribed several different drugs to help with the pain. Chronic pain, fatigue, insomnia and irritability has taken over my life. I make it through work with 7.5ml and 10ml hydrocodone. Have given up all social activities and hobbies. I spend my evenings and weekends just trying to recover so I can make it to work in my commercial HVAC job that irritates my injury everyday. Point being, the range of motion test is a joke and no where shows the true affects. I am currently working on a letter for my senators and congressman/congresswoman to look into the ratings of these types of injuries for veterans.

Hi,

@user-rd2wh2dy3s

Question for you. Have you ever seen a study linking neck injuries occurring after an open shoulder surgery? I had a Bankart in service and I swear my modified shoulder movement has caused neck pain/ injuries. Thanks for any info ahead of time.

What is a medical opinion vs dbq

@billygolf79

I have an ETS physical from 2006 notating chronic neck pain. I also had an incapacitating episode where I woke up and I couldn't move my neck because of stiffness and pain, in service (06). As a result of that episode, that led the chronic pain that I mentioned at my ETS physical. They also did an x-ray where it indicated loss/flatting of normal lordosis. I also experienced left shoulder pain, which I figured out years later was really nerve issues from my neck.
