Question:

Was a Marine from 81 to 85 2nd tanks. Military records show went to sick bay for lower back pain 14 times. Got out and approx 1 year later exploded 3 disks. Approx 2 years after that they took out reaming 2.  Got CP exam next week.  No civilian records:  they were sent to VA when I joined Feb. of this year.  Don’t know what’s there.  Dealt with back issues all my life .  Now knee is bad,  hip is bad,  hard time walking and can barley to my job.  I would appreciate any advice you could give me. Thank you for your service
