Neck update!!!

Ok, went for my last medical board evaluation appointment today...well neck appointment that is. After today they will now begin compiling all of the administrative along with doctor findings into a packet to send to San Antonio for a decision on whether I am fit/unfit for duty and if I am unfit how much money the Army will offer me. Below is a chart of the range of motion that I currently have in my neck compared to normal.




The foreward FLX is taking my chin and bringing it as forward as possible to my chest. The N=45 means the normal degrees is 45...I can take mine to 43..not too shabby

The Extension is taking my head all the back to look at the ceiling...the norm is 45 mine was 48.7 WOOHOOO!

The L Lat Flex is taking my left ear and putting it onto my left shoulder...the norm is 45 mine went to 37.3

The R Lat Flex is taking my right ear and putting it onto my right shoudler...the norm is 45 mine went to 40.

the L Lat Rot means turning my head as far to the left as possible...norm is 80 mine is 60...yeah not so hot

the R Lat Rot means turning my head as far to the right as possible...norm is 80 mine is 62.7 not so hot either...

So, thats where I am at in the Medical Board Evaluation process...stay tuned for further updates!!
