What is the name of your state? Virginia
I am in the Navy. I was injured on deployment in March of 2004. They misdiagnosed me 3 times. Our medical department mistreated me my senior chief has documentation on it all. I was left on light duty for nine months. I am currently on Limited duty that is supposed to last for 8 months but I want to be out ASAP. I have ITB syndrom, PFS, and softening of all the cartlidge in my knee. I am unable to walk up stairs normally. I am unable to walk for extended periods of time and I have been informed by my Navy doctor that I am not going to get better. I have done all that I can do as far as physical therapy and have documentation from my physical therapist that I have done all that I can and have followed everything they told me to do. Both my doctor and my physcial therapist agree that I have followed all orders given. What can I do to speed up the process and ensure that I get as many benifits as possible.
