TBI problems from Iraq

[1ammodog01]

I have a cd of my MRI on my brain because of medical conditions that needed looking at, and I wonder if I can send my cd to someone they can inturpit for me, because the people who read mine said within normal limits, but it states in one of my folders the T7 in brain has damage, I get hedaches, my hands shake, no long term memorey, and vision problems, fingers and feet tingle like small needles. please advise me. I would like to know what is within normal limits.

From my family to yours, Thank You so much for your service! Your sacrifices are greatly appreciated! I know that doesn't help with your problem but it comes from the heart.

If there is some way you can get referred to a neurosurgeon or neurologist they could read your MRI. I guess it all really comes down to who you can get referred to and what your medical coverage will pay for. Any PCP should be able to give you a referral to a specialist. I hope you are able to find the help you need and deserve and thank you again. God bless you.

I agree. You really need to see a neurologist. FYI, my wife's brain injury went undetected for months even though she'd had several MRI's. It seems the doctors were looking at other body parts and, evidently, did not look at the brain problems.

You should have had a TBI screening. All OEF/OIF soldiers and veterans are supposed to have the screening.

Are you still active duty?

There can be hurdles for military and veterans with TBI. If you need help with the system let me know.

I'm rated 100% Permanent and Total VA disability for my MTBI. I'll be glad to help you through the medical maze the best I can.

I can't interpret your MRI but I don't put much stock in MRI findings. All my MRI's are normal, yet I am not.
