ok as most of you know i have been going back and forth the the VA for awhile trying to get my disabilty from the government. well today i have been told i need to file a formal appeal, get an outside doctor to evaluate my arm to see that indeed it is limited in mobility, strength, usefullnes, and tha i have severe nerve damage in my shoulder, that isnt caused by carpul tunnel in my WRIST! so jsut for an evad i have to come up with 375 for a doctors visit and that is with a veteran discount. so now on top of having to do this, i have to wait to do the timing on my tib, the axle in my truck and i have to take a day off work which i really cant afford because i have an 8 per hour job at autozone.
the funny thing is,the va admit to my being in pain with my shoulder, and knee, but since my shoulder is attached to my wrist i can only get the 10% for pain in my wrist.
yes red i know nm has the best va facility. but as is for now im stuck in michigan and its shitty economy.

that's horrible man - I'd find a way to request reimbursement for the VA not covering your outside doctor visits.
My wife has an EMG and NCS today, testing for nerve damage -- it's not fun having needles poked into your muscles (neck, arm, wrists, hand, etc.)
Good luck bro sad.gif
