Hang in there my friend! Thank you for watching!

thank you so much, it's 1am as i am writing this. i just got done typing my personal statement for depression/anxiety/sleep disorder/weight gain (70 lbs worth) secondary to knee pain (30% left 10% right). i was unsure if i had a chance with this claim, but actually hearing it from a "been there, done that" professional puts me at ease. im also submitting for left knee increase due to hoffa fat (sounds gross) and right knee for weight bearing pain and swelling. once again, thank you, i just might get some sleep this morning.

Great video awareness, getting my knee rating in 2025, I have a lot of homework to do.

Good information, I have ankle, knee and hip pain after prolonged standing which I believe is secondary to Pes planus. Thanks for posting solid relative content.

Thank you for the feedback and thank you for watching!

Can you please tell us the name of the articles you mentioned for GERD and NSAID usage? I was denied a secondary claim for GERD from chronic NSAID usage for knee pain.

[@prestigeveteranmedical]

The names are listed in the video

[@rickkane8043]

I got knee pain since I was in service and it’s on my records but when I get out I never include to my claim now I want to claim it and I have current diagnosis do I need a nexus for it?

[@prestigeveteranmedical]

I am sorry to hear this sir. Nexus letters are never required they can just be helpful at times

[@siddkid3169]

I have knee pain that was linked to my hip and back pain...if you can make a claim on one knee, the VA usually give you compensation for both knees 😊

[@prestigeveteranmedical]

Hey buddy I am sorry to hear about your back, knee and hip pain. Big hugs and thank you for watching

Well not for me. They fought me until I called Washington D.C. and Congressman...so sad

[@siddkid3169]

@@sweetd4872 It's very frustrating...I'm not sure why they accept one person's nexus letter and deny another person. Sad indeed.

New to your page 😊 Are we to include these articles as support in our claims? Trying to prep fully in fighting a denial. Thanks

[@prestigeveteranmedical]

Thank you for watching! I am not really to sure about that as I am not an expert in the filling/administrative process. Best of luck to you

[@kevincostello6767]

I have a service connected disability of 0% for my right knee. I just had surgery on my knee for a torn meniscus. How do they determine how much of an increase in disability I will receive when I file for reconsideration of my disability compensation?

[@prestigeveteranmedical]

That is a great question. Have you looked up the criteria for the ratings?

[@scottstrauch6085]

I have service connected knee disabilty. Now I have back pain. I had knee surgery back in july 2018 for resurfacing and that November had a nasty back pain and saw my primary care physician and have ddd. Now both of those being close together would the va likely accept the back pain as a secondary to service connected knee pain?

[@prestigeveteranmedical]

Many veterans are service connected for this. Every case is different of course. Best of luck to you and thank you for watching

[@trojanbomber]

I have filed my BDD claim and done my C&P exams. I discovered I should have claimed at least 2-3 other conditions. I have not yet received my VA rating. Should I file a supplemental claim now or wait until I receive my initial rating?

[@prestigeveteranmedical]

I am not really sure about that sir. Have you spoken with a VSO about this?

[@roncherry814]

I broke my left ankle while going thru pre- mob training. I have developed arthritis in both ankles and knees as a result

[@prestigeveteranmedical]

I am sorry to hear this sir. Thank you for watching

Does your company write nexus and/or DBQ's letters for veterans with orthopedic conditions?

[@prestigeveteranmedical]

Yes sir we do frequently. If you would like more information please email us at [e-mail]

I have 20% right knee (1998), and then 10% left knee (2001). Just in the last 8-9 years I’ve had ongoing right hip pain that will wake me up at night throbbing, also I developed horrible GERD within the last 7-8 years and I can honestly say I have taken ibuprofen, aleve, or Tylenol at least 4-5 times a week over the past 20 years for pain in my knees after working long days. The last 5 years or so the hip is excruciating at night if I roll onto my right side, which leads to painful and sleepless nights, and constant fatigue. Where would you advise someone like myself to start the process to try to get these connected as secondary issues related to my service connected knee disabilities.

[@prestigeveteranmedical]

Your local VSO would be a good start. Do you know how to locate this type of professional?

[@mcso-dep138]

get your medical file from the VSO or download sf-180 (request for military records) review all your sick call visits and how many times vitamin M (motrin or ibuprofen) was prescribed to you and of couse like anybody else you continue to take it not knowing it causes ulcers. ive complained about gut rott since i was in and long after i got out, thinking it was stress or diet, it was motrin. make an appt with the VA, complain out it, should get a scope done. i did, got scoped and wow!! i had so much scaring from the acid reflux and lesions they burned off. give it a try, don't be afraid or think you are weak for doing it.. what the worst that can happen,, they tell you no. get more evidence and a law firm. good luck.
