Hey greaser, if you haven't done so already take a trip to the VA too. I finally decided to swallow my pride and did the same. I've been able to manage the pain myself for years, then I realized that this , and a few others, are just pregressively getting worse. And they're all service related. At some point I'm going to need some assistance and it wouldn't be a smart idea to wait until that happens to start the process.
A friend referred me to a Veterans Services Officer of the Community Services Department of Texas. He's been a huge help.
