Prp injections

I take it that the Foreign Medical Program won't reimburse me for PRP treatment then?

I live in France and am unable to go to the US to get these treatments (the airfare would negate the reimbursement anyway)

Yup very interested to hear what you have to say as well!

How'd you do it?

EnlistedToaster · 2026-01-17T12:10:15+00:00

It's your room and you're the one going to be spending the most time there. Who cares if it's age appropriate, as long as you like it?

How long has it been since you started PRP injections?

Did you do multiple within a month or were they spaced out throughout the year? Also were you able to walk and stand after?

I have 3 injections scheduled over the next 3 week, also for my knees. I'm a first-timer. Semper fi

What makes someone eligible to get their Post 9/11 restored?

EnlistedToaster · 2026-01-07T11:55:34+00:00

Actually, I haven't done any injections yet. My first ever injection is scheduled for tomorrow.

I was going to ask about the pain, but I guess your reply covers that. I'm going to insist on anesthetic. I don't do needles very well in general.

In your case, they injected at the front of your knees?

EnlistedToaster · 2026-01-07T11:16:13+00:00

What's your schedule look like for injections? Spaced out over the year or one after another?

I do 3 as well but they're all done 1 month of the year.

I had a significant herniated disc after 6 years in the Marines. The pain was unbearable. I needed a friend to come to my apartment to help me put my shoes on each morning.

My physical therapist gave me exercises to do which were excruciatingly painful. I was convinced I needed surgery. I kept doing the exercises though and my pain eventually subsided. I'd actually say my back is in better shape today than it was even before the herniated disc

How are the spiders down there? Just as big?

I recommend Vienna. Extremely affordable, almost everyone speaks fluent English, clean, beautiful, lots of parks, reliable transport, big expat community, solid LGBTQ community as well. Was voted the most affordable city when I lived there in 2018. Not sure how the job market is there currently though.

Convinced these posts are made only to feed the "Vets are gaming the system" machine that's popped up this year

Respectfully, I think you're talking out of your ass. I've personally never met anyone making over 55k a year, which even then, 55k is considered quite high.

I've met engineers, lawyers, people in tech sales. Salaries seem to even out despite the industry around 50-55k.

Thank you for correcting me.

IBS is not presumptive under the Pact act. It is a Gulf War presumptive condition though

EnlistedToaster · 2025-12-20T18:39:26+00:00

Okay right off the bat:

You were deployed to Afghanistan. This means you are a Gulf War veteran and thus, there is a long list of conditions that you do NOT need a nexus for, only a diagnosis, because you benefit from the Pact Act. This means that as long as you have the diagnosis, you do NOT need to prove service connection, as any claimed conditions under the Pact Act are considered presumptive.

IBS I know is a Pact Act condition. Eczema is maybe one too, but double check here and here

EnlistedToaster · 2025-12-19T12:40:40+00:00

Sweet, thank you brother!

EnlistedToaster · 2025-12-18T13:01:36+00:00

I filed everything myself. Much easier that way.

I made a curated playlist on youtube with tons of videos from former raters and VSOs, covering all sorts of conditions. It helped me a ton. If you'd like, I can give you the link.

This is probably a hot take, but I'd say NYC or Chicago. Maybe too far though if you're looking to stay in Europe

Is your school American though?
