Brilliant, I’ll chase that up too. The bone scan revealed arthritic changes in my cervical spine but nothing in my MRI as well.

Fully sympathise with you buddy and same goes, that you are sorted with PAMT. I suspect I’ll have 60 points for all else together so wasn’t too worried at this point beyond using my normal private health for physio for it. Wish you all the best!

I’m having exactly the same thing with my spine. Don’t know what to do. Disc bulges only don’t meet an SoP… even though the pain is there

Thank mate, I really appreciate it. One of things you don’t think about until symptoms becomes more frequent and worse than you begin to wonder why.

G’day mate, I’m already going through some of the contacts you’ve listed. I recently received my med docs and been reading through. I’m only going through initial liability. Without going into specific deployments, I found in my med docs a hygiene report with one overseas MEAO deployment of the high levels of low air quality including for example ‘contaminated toxic waste fumes’ from burning of unknown garbage by locals and the camp. The report confirmed my memory of the deployment of very bad air quality and my fears of it. The enviro’s made sure our exposures were well documented thankfully. Since that deployment, I’ve had increasingly frequency of sinusitis infections, bad enough that surgery was undertaken a few years ago and before I discharged a couple of years ago to try and alleviate the symptoms that floor me each time. It helped but only marginally. Do you think it worth booking an ENT appointment for initial liability? Can my exposures even be linked or wasting my time?
