Back and leg va disibility

over the past five months I have been having horrible burning pain from my right hip to my right toes. Been to VA, another MRI, etc etc they and civilian ortopedic doc's doing all they can. Does anyone else have this problem. All say it is resulting from previous disibility. Wondering if I should submit a request for an increase in disibility for it since it has gotten worse and is related to exsisting problem.

I have had similar and the doctor told me it is bursitis and gave me some pain killers (Tramadol) and anti inflammatories (tylenol and Ibuprophen).

Could this problem be related to a lower back issue and affecting some nerves in the leg area? Are you having any back issues? Just a thought...Marty

I have the problem and have had it for several months. I am finally getting to go to a pain clinic. I haven't been there yet but will be going within a week or so.

If the docs are saying this pain is a result of previous-documented service-connected disability, you should apply for either an increase in disability or file a new claim altogether. First stop? Your nearest DAV/AMVets/VFW service officer. Of course, this will take some time! Hope you get better in the meantime.

thanks for the replies.
