My OR came back to me this week with a notice from MEPS stating that I must provide medical records and release for two injuries I sustained 12 years ago. One was a dislocated elbow and the other a broken clavicle, both from judo. Both healed fully, and I haven't experienced any issues with them since then. However, due to the course of time and two international moves, I've no longer have the relevant medical records. Additionally, the treating hospitals purged those records ten years ago.
Initially my OR thought it would be sufficient if I submitted a comprehensive handwritten account covering the cause, treatment and resolution of the injuries, so I wrote six pages containing every detail I could remember. MEPS did not deem it sufficient, and my OR has not been helpful in suggesting solutions.
Is it possible that a present-day medical evaluation by a personal physician and/or specialist would be accepted in lieu of the old records? What other alternative documentation could I submit to help resolve this issue?
