Ankle pain 1 year after injury, re-sprained, MEB possible?
Answer:
Ankle sprains heal, if you still have problems, then it is something else besides a sprain. Perhaps things like tarsal tunnel syndrome, more likely an osteochrondral injury, like osteochondritis dessicans of the talus. If I were still on active duty, working in Orthopedics, I would order a CT scan or MRI of your ankle, to look for such a problem. If it is related to your service, then the service will help take care of it. A Medical Evaluation Board is preceeded by a PEB Physical evaluation Board, this is where they look at factors and job requirements in your MOS. If you can still function within those requirements, then you get issued a perm. profile. But before you jump on the "I'm disabled" wagon for a free ride in life, seek out and get that anke examined by a competent Orthopedic/Podiatrist Doctor to look for those other causes.
Of course, its the government. They can do what ever they want!
